Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 267

When you are testing a web application, it is very useful to employ a proxy tool to save every request and response. You can manually test every request and analyze the response to find vulnerabilities. You can test parameter and headers manually to get more precise results than if using web vulnerability scanners.
What proxy tool will help you find web vulnerabilities?

Answer options

• A. Maskgen
• B. Dimitry
• C. Burpsuite
• D. Proxychains

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Burpsuite is widely recognized for its capability to intercept and manipulate HTTP requests, making it ideal for manual testing and vulnerability discovery. The other options, such as Maskgen and Dimitry, serve different purposes in security testing and do not provide the same level of request/response analysis, while Proxychains is primarily used for routing network traffic through proxies rather than testing web application vulnerabilities.
