Experiment: Testing Input Validation Using BurpSuite
1. Aim
To analyze and test input validation mechanisms of a web application using
BurpSuite, and observe how the server responds to valid, invalid, and
malicious inputs.
2. Requirements
• Web browser
• BurpSuite Community/Professional
• Local web application with registration form (register.html)
• Server-side script to process input
• Text file for storing validated data
• Browser proxy pointing to BurpSuite
3. Theory
Input validation ensures that user data is correct, safe, and properly
formatted before processing.
BurpSuite helps test input validation by intercepting requests, modifying
inputs, injecting payloads, and analyzing responses.
4. Tools Used
• BurpSuite Proxy
• Intercept
• Repeater
• HTTP History
5. Procedure (Steps)
Step 1: Launch the registration page (register.html).
