Before writing a Burp extension, you'll need to get your development environment ready. You can do this by:

  • Using the starter project (recommended): This ready-made Java project includes boilerplate code and preconfigured dependencies, so you can start developing immediately.

  • Setting up your environment manually: If you have specific requirements or want full control over your setup, you can configure everything yourself.
