M26: Burp and Nox on Windows (20 pts)

What You Need for This Project

Purpose

To get the Nox emulator and Burp working, so you can perform man-in-the-middle traffic interception, to detect SSL certificate validation errors.

Installing Burp

Burp is a very popular proxy, enabling you to view and alter network traffic.

In a Web browser, go to https://portswigger.net/burp

In the "Community Edition" column, click Download", as shown below.

Install the software with the default options.

Click Start, "Burp Suite Community Edition".

An agreement appears. Click "I Accept".

In the next page, click the Start Burp button.

The main Burp window opens, as shown below.

Click the Proxy tab. Click the Intercept sub-tab.

The third button says "Intercept is on", as shown below.

Configuring Burp

In Burp, click the "Intercept is on" button. It changes to "Intercept is off".

On the Proxy tab, click the Options sub-tab.

In the central box, click the Interface address to highlight it, as shown below.

On the left side, click the Edit button.

In the "Edit proxy listener" box, click the "Specific address" button, and select your computer's IP address that is used to connect to the Internet, as shown below.
