Versions:
Burp Suite Community Edition 2026.3.2, released by PortSwigger Web Security as the 135th iterative refresh of the long-standing freeware platform, equips students, researchers, and junior penetration testers with a tightly curated set of manual utilities for probing the attack surface of web applications. Packaged within the Web Development / Security Testing category, the suite consolidates an intercepting proxy, a repeater for iterative request tampering, a site map generator, and a basic vulnerability scanner, enabling methodical discovery of issues such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and authentication bypass without automation overhead. Typical use cases span classroom workshops where learners map hidden directories, bug-bounty newcomers who replay suspicious traffic to confirm flaws, and DevOps engineers who perform quick sanity checks on staging deployments before release. Although intentionally limited when compared with the professional tier, the Community Edition still supports extensibility through the BApp Store’s free add-ons, allowing users to tailor request parsers or decode exotic encodings on the fly. Successive versions have refined HTTP/2 handling, modern TLS cipher suites, and the intuitive Montoya API introduced in earlier branches, ensuring that even non-commercial practitioners work with contemporary web standards. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
