What is Turbo Intruder
Turbo Intruder is one of the greatest burp suite extensions scripted by “James Kettle” to send a large number of HTTP requests and analyze the results. However, the functionality of this extension is as similar as that of Burp’s Intruder carries. Yes, it is fuzzier. But as it uses the HTTP-stack thereby some features make it a bit different and faster.
- High speed with least latency during fuzzing
- Low memory usage with a million payloads
- Customizable python scripts for different attack scenarios
- Reliable for Multi-day attacks
Burp Intruder v/s Turbo Intruder
No doubt, the intruder tab is the most powerful part of the burp suite. Whether it’s about to fuzz an application over at a single injection point or multiple, it does work seamlessly. However, this tool provides whatever we wish to, whether it’s about payloads or the error detections, it is good-to-go. But when it comes to the fuzzing speed or the memory usage it drops it out. If the dictionary exceeds about a lakh payload, the latency and the memory consumption will be at their peak. But why does this all happen?
To analyze this, we need to understand the mechanism it carries while fuzzing.
All the major brute forcers, create a TCP handshake for a single request and send the request to the server, thereby the server waits and shares the response back, as soon as the tool gets the response, it then reads out and the same happens again. However, the handshake consumes a lot of time and the sending & reading phases contain a much latency too, thereby giving a high load on the CPU and consuming a lot of memory reducing the speed to fuzz that.
But the turbo intruder is different and as its speed is. It works on an old technology i.e., HTTP pipelining which establishes the connection first and shares as many possible requests in one go without worrying about the received responses to minimize the latency and server processing time.
Turbo Intruder’s Installation
It’s not difficult to find this plugin nor to install it, simply navigate to the Extender tab and then further select the app Store option within it and once you scroll your mouse down, you’ll find it right in front with a rating reaching almost 5 stars.
