Acts like a default setting for every project
4 main sub-sections of the User options tab:
- Connections control how Burp makes connections to targets. For example, we can set a proxy for Burp Suite to connect through; this is very useful if we want to use Burp Suite through a network pivot.
- TLS enable and disable various TLS (Transport Layer Security) options. Also giving us place to upload client certificates should a web app require us to use one for connections.
- Display change how Burp Suite looks. Also configuring options with the rendering engine in Repeater
- Misc keybinding table (HotKeys), which allowing us to view and alter the keyboard shortcuts used by Burp Suite. Familiarising yourself with these settings would be advisable, as using the keybinds can speed up your workflow massively.
