Discovering hidden content with Burp Suite - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation notes that applications often contain locations users cannot browse to because they are not directly linked from visible content. Burp Suite includes tools intended to help discover this hidden content, letting testers build a more comprehensive map of the target application and identify a wider attack surface.
Why it matters: The unlinked parts of an application are exactly where an attacker will look first, and the source's own framing is that finding them widens the attack surface you have to defend.
