burpwn

A transparent intercepting proxy + execution sandbox + agent interface for AI-driven web pentesting.

burpwn is to an AI agent what Burp Suite is to a human pentester. It runs every command an agent<br>executes inside a rootless Linux sandbox whose entire network (HTTP/HTTPS/DNS/TCP) is forced<br>through a built-in intercepting proxy. The agent can then go back through history, search and filter<br>the decrypted request/response flows, replay and edit them (Repeater), apply match/replace rules,<br>block and rewrite traffic in flight, and organize flows into workspaces — all from a scriptable CLI<br>or over MCP. It is at once a Burp and a tshark, but driven by an agent.

Status: early development. See the milestones below.

Why

Existing intercepting proxies are built for a human clicking in a GUI. An autonomous agent needs a<br>programmatic surface: create a session, run tooling, and query the captured traffic — without the<br>agent's own LLM traffic ever being captured. burpwn delivers exactly that: the agent process stays<br>outside the sandbox; only the commands it executes (its children) enter the captured network<br>namespace, so LLM traffic is excluded by construction.

How it works

Rootless transparent sandbox. Each executed command runs in its own Linux user + network<br>namespace. An nftables REDIRECT ruleset inside that namespace forces all TCP (and UDP/53) to the<br>burpwn proxy. bubblewrap isolates the filesystem and processes. No root, no setuid, no CAP_NET_ADMIN<br>on the host — the kernel grants the needed capability inside the child namespace.

TLS-MITM. A per-install root CA is generated once; leaf certs are minted on the fly per SNI and<br>the CA is injected into the sandbox trust store so HTTPS is decrypted. Cert-pinned targets fall back<br>cleanly to TLS pass-through with metadata-only logging.

Capture & query. Flows are stored in a per-session SQLite database (WAL, content-addressed body<br>dedup, FTS5 full-text search) written by a single-writer task off the proxy hot path.

Agent integration (rtk-style). burpwn init installs the right command-rewrite hook for the<br>detected agent (Claude Code / Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline/Roo), plus a generic global shell<br>hook so even a custom agent is covered.

Usage (target surface)

burpwn doctor # check the rootless prerequisites<br>burpwn ca init && burpwn ca export # generate / print the MITM CA<br>burpwn session new --name engagement-1<br>burpwn exec -- curl -s https://target.example/ # runs sandboxed; traffic captured + decrypted<br>burpwn req list # browse captured flows<br>burpwn req show 42 --raw # decrypted request + response<br>burpwn req replay 42 --set-header 'X: 1' # Repeater<br>burpwn intercept enable # blocking intercept (also via MCP await_intercept)

Install

Linux-only (relies on user/network namespaces, nftables, bubblewrap). Install the prerequisites<br>first — Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf install bubblewrap nftables iproute; Debian/Ubuntu:<br>sudo apt install bubblewrap nftables iproute2.

# one-liner: download the prebuilt binary, install to ~/.local/bin, generate the CA, run preflight<br>curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/own2pwn-fr/burpwn/main/install.sh | sh

# from a checkout (builds from source if no prebuilt binary fits your arch)<br>./install.sh # ./install.sh --hooks also installs the global shell hook<br>./install.sh --from-source # force a source build

# or via cargo /...
