Proxy intercept - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes the Proxy > Intercept tab in Burp Suite, which intercepts HTTP requests and responses sent between the browser and the target server so users can study how a website behaves. The panel lists intercepted messages in a table, lets users toggle interception on and off, edit the target server for HTTP requests, and add notes and highlights that also appear in the HTTP history.
Bottom line: Interception puts every request and response between browser and server in an analyst's hands before it completes, which is the same position an attacker seeks when probing a web application.
