What's that?
------------

Let me introduce you ``Burp-UI``. It is a web-based UI to manage your
burp-servers.
You can view different reports about burp-servers, burp-clients, backups, etc.
``Burp-UI`` allows you to perform *on-the-fly* restorations and should allow
you to edit/manage your burp-server's conf file very soon.

It is actually an improvement of the burp status monitor (``burp -c /etc/burp/burp-server.conf -a s``).

It currently supports only the burp-1.x branch but it is totally modular so 
supporting burp-2.x won't be a big deal.
So in order to work properly, you must be running ``Burp-UI`` on the same host
that runs your burp-server (because the burp status port only listen on 
*localhost*).
If you don't want to, I developed a ``bui-agent`` that allows you to *proxify* 
external commands to your burp status port.


Who are you?
------------

I'm `Ziirish <http://ziirish.info>`_, a French sysadmin that loves `Burp`_ and
would like to help its adoption by providing it a nice and powerful interface.
If you like my work, you can:

* Thank me by sending me an email or writing a nice comment
* Buy me a beer or some fries or both!
* Make a donation on my Paypal

Contributing
------------

Contributions are welcome. You can help in any way you want, for instance by
opening issues on the `bug tracker <https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui/issues>`__,
sending patches, etc.
There is also a dedicated website. Currently it only hosts a `Discourse <http://www.discourse.org/>`__
instance where you ca discuss with each other.
Feel free to use it and post your tips and remarks.
The address is: `http://burpui.ziirish.me/ <http://burpui.ziirish.me/>`__


Requirements
------------

Please note that currently, ``Burp-UI`` must be running on the same server that
runs the burp-server.

For LDAP authentication (optional), we need the ``simpleldap`` module that 
requires the following packages on Debian:

::

    aptitude install libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev python-dev


Then we install the module itself:

::

    pip install simpleldap


Installation
------------

ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
``Burp-UI`` is written in Python with the `Flask`_ micro-framework.
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
The easiest way to install Flask is to use ``pip``.
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
On Debian, you can install ``pip`` with the following command:

::

    aptitude install python-pip


ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
Once ``pip`` is installed, you can install ``Burp-UI`` this way:
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
    pip install burp-ui


You can setup various parameters in the `burpui.cfg`_ file.
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
This file can be specified with the ``-c`` flag or should be present in
``/etc/burp/burpui.cfg``.
By default ``Burp-UI`` ships with a default file located in
``$BURPUIDIR/../share/burpui/etc/burpui.cfg``.
ziirish's avatar

Then you can run ``burp-ui``: ``burp-ui``
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed
By default, ``burp-ui`` listens on all interfaces (including IPv6) on port 5000.

You can then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Development
-----------

If you wish to use the latest and yet unstable version (eg. `master <https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui/tree/master>`__),
you can install it using ``pip`` too, but I would recommend you to use a 
``virtualenv``.

To do so, run the following commands:

::

    mkdir /opt/bui-venv
    pip install virtualenv
    virtualenv /opt/bui-venv
    source /opt/bui-venv/bin/activate
    pip install git+https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui.git


You can uninstall/disable this ``Burp-UI`` setup by typing ``deactivate`` and
removing the ``/opt/bui-venv`` directory.

Gunicorn
--------

Starting from v0.0.6, ``Burp-UI`` supports `Gunicorn <http://gunicorn.org>`_ in
order to handle multiple users simultaneously.
ziirish's avatar
ziirish committed

You need to install ``gunicorn`` and ``eventlet``:

::

    pip install eventlet
    pip install gunicorn

You will then be able to launch ``Burp-UI`` this way:

::

    gunicorn -k eventlet -w 4 'burpui:init(conf="/path/to/burpui.cfg")'


Instructions
------------

In order to make the *on the fly* restoration/download functionality work, you
need to check a few things:

1. Provide the full path of the burp (client) binary file
2. Provide the full path of an empty directory where a temporary restoration
   will be made. This involves you have enough space left on that location on
   the server that runs ``Burp-UI``
3. Launch ``Burp-UI`` with a user that can proceed restorations and that can
   write in the directory above
4. Make sure to configure a client on the server that runs ``Burp-UI`` that can
   restore files of other clients (option *restore_client* in burp-server
   configuration)

Troubleshooting
---------------

In case you encounter troubles with ``Burp-UI``, you should run it with the
``-d`` flag and paste the relevant output within your bug-report.
Please also give the version of ``burp`` AND ``Burp-UI``.
Since v0.0.6 you can use the ``-V`` or ``--version`` flag in order to get your
version number.


Please feel free to report any issues on my `gitlab <https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui/issues>`_.
I have closed the *github tracker* to have a unique tracker system.

`Here <https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui/issues?label_name=todo>`_ is a
non-exhaustive list of things I'd like to add.

Also note that in the future, I'd like to write a burp-client GUI.
But I didn't think yet of what to do.
