Burp Suite home directory on Linux with project files, config and extensions.
Last updated
Burp Suite keeps user options, project files and extension state in a .BurpSuite directory in your home folder, while engagement projects save as .burp files wherever you put them. Temporary projects vanish on close unless saved.
Project files bundle proxy history, issues and repeater tabs together. Back up the home folder for config plus every saved project for findings.
Where Burp Suite stores this, by platform
~/.BurpSuite
Holds user config, extension jars and collaborator state. Project .burp files live in your own engagement folders elsewhere. Copy the home folder with Burp closed to migrate config and extensions.
