About

Have you ever pen-tested a .NET app and found that it has all sorts of ugly parameter names (i.e. ctl0$blah$foo$VeryLongLine)? Sometimes these parameters can be pages long (i.e. __VIEWSTATE). Have you felt like tearing your hair out because you can't even read the whole parameter name and see what it's corresponding value is in your small screen at a client site? Don't you wish you could only focus on the meat of the request?

Well cry no more! This tool is about bringing awesome back to pen-testing .NET apps. It makes requests like this:

Look like this:

__VIEWSTATE=<snipped out for sanity>&TxtUsername_internal=username&TxtPassword_internal=password&BtnLogin=Login

All without compromising the integrity of the outgoing message so you can alter the values of the parameters you want to target without losing your mind! Better yet, you can send "beautified" messages to other tools within Burp and the outgoing messages will get automatically transformed back into what the web app expects from us.

WAWAWEWA!

Requirements

You'll need the following to get started:

• the latest version of BurpSuite versions 1.6 or later.
• a positive attitude!

Help!

This is still a work in progress so their may be a few bugs I haven't hammered out.
