Port Swigger Web Security releases Burp Suite 2.0 beta

Summary: PortSwigger Web Security released Burp Suite 2.0 beta, a major upgrade whose core scanning engine has been completely rewritten to handle heavily stateful applications with complex session handling. The release adds a dynamic JavaScript analyzer for detecting DOM-based vulnerabilities alongside the existing static analysis, plus a new dashboard aimed at reducing the learning curve for less technical users.
Why it matters: Burp's software is used by over 14,000 customers in 130 countries, so a rewritten scanning core changes the detection behavior those teams rely on, and CEO Dafydd Stuttard says the company will spend the coming months refining the beta based on real-world feedback.
