Android Traffic Interception Using Burp Suite — Step-by-step Guide

In this video, we take a hands-on approach to Android traffic interception using Burp Suite. In my previous video, I explained the theory behind traffic interception, HTTPS, and why proxies are so powerful for Android reverse engineering. This time, we skip the theory and go straight into real-world practice. 🔍You’ll learn how to: 🔹Set up Burp Suite Community Edition for Android traffic interception 🔹Configure an Android emulator to route traffic through Burp 🔹Install and trust Burp’s CA certificate 🔹Intercept and inspect GET and POST requests 🔹Understand why DNS failures don’t appear in Burp 🔹Intercept and modify server responses in real time 🔹Change application behavior by mocking and crafting responses To make comparisons easier, I use the same demo applications and scenarios as in my HTTP Toolkit video. This allows you to clearly see the differences, strengths, and trade-offs between Burp Suite and HTTP Toolkit, with the application logic kept identical. 🧭 Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 — Intro 00:39 — What is Burp Suite and why use it for Android 01:07 — Installing Burp Suite 01:30 — Creating a Burp project & proxy listener setup 01:45 — Configuring Burp proxy 02:37 — Saving & reusing Burp configuration 03:06 — Android emulator proxy configuration 04:23— Installing Burp CA certificate on Android 05:34— Test app overview & request scenarios 06:27— Intercepting Real App Traffic 07:24— Why some requests don’t appear in Burp (DNS / NXDOMAIN) 08:08 — Network stack explanation (DNS → TLS → HTTP) 11:19 — Mocking Responses & Changing App Behavior 14:35— Advanced Scenarios & Hidden Logic 15:16— Final thoughts & wrap-up 🧰 Tools Used Android Studio – sample apps & emulator Burp Suite – traffic interception, MITM proxy 🔗 Useful Links Burp Suite website: https://portswigger.net/burp ☕ If you’d like to support my work, you can tip on Ko-fi 👉 https://ko-fi.com/androidxray Thank you for your support! 🔔 Like the video and Subscribe for more Android security tutorials. 💬 Have questions or ideas?
