Burp is an integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications.
Burp Suite
Burp Suite is an integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications. The suite of tools is designed to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities.
Burp Suite contains a set of tools for testing the security of web applications. These tools include:
• Burp Proxy - an intercepting proxy server that allows the user to monitor and modify requests between the browser and web sites.
• Burp Spider - a web crawler that can be used to automatically map an application's attack surface.
• Burp Scanner - an automated vulnerability scanner that can be used to identify common web application vulnerabilities.
• Burp Intruder - an automated tool for performing attack surface testing.
• Burp Repeater - an interactive tool for manually manipulating and replaying requests.
• Burp Sequencer - an automated tool for testing the randomness of session tokens.
• Burp Decoder - an interactive tool for decoding and encoding data.
• Burp Comparer - an interactive tool for comparing two pieces of data.
• Burp Extender - a plugin framework for extending Burp Suite's capabilities.
• Burp Collaborator - a cloud-based tool for detecting out-of-band vulnerabilities.
• Burp Suite API - a REST API for programmatically controlling Burp Suite.
• Burp Suite Professional - an additional set of commercial-grade capabilities.
Burp Suite also includes a comprehensive user interface for configuring and customizing all of the above tools.
Benefits
Burp Suite provides a comprehensive solution for testing the security of web applications. By combining all of the above features into a single platform, it allows security testers to find and exploit vulnerabilities more quickly and efficiently.
Additionally, Burp Suite is highly extensible, allowing users to create custom tools and plugins to extend its capabilities. This means that security testers can tailor Burp Suite to fit their specific needs and workflows.
Finally, Burp Suite is available both as a free open-source product and as a commercial-grade product with additional features and support. This makes it suitable for a wide range of users, from individuals just starting out in security testing, to large enterprises with complex testing requirements.

I have used Burp Suite for a few security assessment projects and found it to be an invaluable tool. The ability to intercept and modify data as it's being sent between applications and the server is incredibly useful for security testing. The Scanner feature is also great for automating the process of identifying vulnerabilities. The user interface is intuitive and the tool is highly configurable, which allows for a wide range of use cases. Overall, I found it to be a comprehensive, feature-rich security testing tool which is well worth the investment.
