Setting up Burp CLI on your development machine

Adding the remote server

To add a remote server to the Burp CLI and save the credentials locally, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have the Burp CLI installed on your development environment and the Burp Agent installed on the server.

2. Run the following command in the CLI:

   burp login

3. You will be prompted to provide the following information:

   • Encryption key: Enter a strong encryption key. Remember to keep this key safe as you will need it to fetch the credentials later.
   • Server name: Provide a name for the server you are adding.
   • Server address: Enter the address of the server. Make sure to include https:// at the beginning of the address.
   • Secret token: Enter the secret token you set on the server. Note that the secret token should not be hashed.
   • Signature: Provide the signature you set on the server.

4. Once you have filled in all the information, the credentials will be saved locally with encryption.

Removing a remote server

To remove an existing server from the command-line tool, use the following command:

burp logout [server_name]

Replace [server_name] with the name of the server you want to remove.

Remember to keep track of the encryption key and server name you used during the login process, as they will be needed to fetch the credentials later on.
