You can apply Java-based Bambdas to create custom view filters for Logger. You can do this in two ways:
Load existing Bambdas - Load Bambdas from your Bambda library.
Create new Bambdas - Write Bambdas directly in the Logger view filter window.
To speed up your workflow when creating or loading Bambdas, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:
Save - Ctrl + S or Cmd + S
Save as - Ctrl + Shift + S or Cmd + Shift + S
Create new Bambda - Ctrl + N or Cmd + N
Load recent Bambda - Ctrl + O or Cmd + O
You can load and apply Bambdas that are stored in your library to filter the view in Logger.
To load a Bambda from your library:
In the Logger tab, click the filter bar to open the Logger view filter window. The filter bar only appears when there are one or more items recorded in Logger.
In the Logger view filter window, click Bambda mode.
Click Load.
Select a recent Bambda from the list.
If the Bambda you want to load isn't in the list, click View all to view all Bambdas stored in your library.
[Optional] If required, edit the Bambda:
Make your changes.
Click Apply to compile and test the Bambda. Fix any errors shown in the Compilation errors panel. For more information, see Troubleshooting Bambdas.
Save your changes:
To overwrite the existing Bambda, click Save to library > Save.
To save a new version, click Save to library > Save as.
Click Apply & close.
Burp compiles your Bambda and applies it to every item already captured in Logger, and to any future items captured in this project.
You can write your own Bambdas directly in the Bambda mode tab, using built-in templates or from a blank definition.
Before you begin writing, we recommend exploring our Bambdas GitHub repository. There may be an existing Bambda that meets your needs or provides inspiration for creating your own.
You can convert filter settings to a Bambda as a starting point for further customization:
In the Logger tab, click the filter bar to open the Logger view filter window. The filter bar only appears when there are one or more items recorded in Logger.
Make changes to the filter settings as necessary.
At the bottom of the Logger view filter window, click Convert to Bambda.
Your filter is converted into a Bambda, enabling you to customize it further using Java.
Two objects of the Montoya API are available to help you write your Bambda:
LoggerHttpRequestResponse
Utilities
To create a Bambda to filter the view in Logger:
In the Logger tab, click the filter bar to open the Logger view filter window. The filter bar only appears when there are one or more items recorded in Logger.
In the Logger view filter window, click Bambda mode.
If you want to create your Bambda from a built-in template, select New > From template. Select a template from the list, then click Create using this template.
Write your Bambda using Java.
Click Apply to compile and test the Bambda. Fix any errors shown in the Compilation errors panel. For more information, see Troubleshooting Bambdas.
[Optional] Click Save to library > Save. The Bambda is saved to your Bambda library for future use across Burp.
Click Apply & close.
Burp compiles your Bambda and applies it to every item already captured in Logger, and to any future items captured in this project.
Using slow running or resource-intensive Bambdas can slow down Burp. Write your Bambda carefully to minimize performance impact.
In the example below, we'll create a Bambda that filters the Logger view to display only requests that meet the following criteria:
In this example, our Bambda is:
if (!requestResponse.hasResponse())
{
return false;
}
var timingData = requestResponse.timingData();
return timingData.timeBetweenRequestSentAndStartOfResponse().toMillis() > 1000;
