Using Simple Burp Macros to Automate Testing

This tutorial explains how to use Burp Suite’s Macros and Session Handling Rules with Intruder to chain a profile update request to a subsequent view request, enabling automated enumeration and extraction of derived values that can reveal sensitive user information. It details configuring a post-request macro, scoping rules, Intruder’s Cluster Bomb payloads, and Grep–Extract patterns to parse the final response, and notes how this workflow can support testing for data leakage and multi-step issues such as stored XSS.
