Why This Matters:
Burp Suite reveals the same vulnerabilities from both perspectives. RED Team uses it to find and exploit flaws. BLUE Team uses it to validate fixes and test security controls. Understanding both mindsets makes you a complete security professional who can think like an attacker while building defenses.
Pro Tip: Integrate Burp into your SDLC. Run passive scans in staging, active scans before releases, and manual testing during security reviews. Fix vulns before attackers find them!
Legal Warning: Only use Burp Suite on applications you own or have explicit written authorization to test. Unauthorized security testing is illegal. Always obtain proper permission and scope before any testing activities.
