Burp Scanner - Web Vulnerability Scanner from Port Swigger
Summary: Burp Scanner, the web vulnerability scanner at the core of Burp Suite Professional and Burp Suite DAST, is used by over 70,000 users across more than 16,000 organizations, according to PortSwigger. It combines an embedded Chromium browser for crawling JavaScript-heavy applications, location fingerprinting to cut request volume, and automated OAST via Burp Collaborator to detect issues such as asynchronous SQL injection and blind SSRF.
What's compelling: PortSwigger states that Burp Scanner users are protected against newly unearthed vulnerability classes, such as HTTP desync attacks, before hackers can exploit them, which puts the research pipeline behind the scanner, not just the scan checks, at the center of the value proposition.
