I was only introduced to Burp at Scot Ruby conf last week as a tool for web security testing. If Proxy.app is targeting the same domain, it seems to provide none of the tools that Burp does.
Burp was a pain to setup (OS X makes installing and using java from the commmand-line a ridiculously complicated process) but it looks 1000x more useful than Proxy.app is.
On a marketing note, you might want to think about who your market is and what job they use a proxy for. It doesn't seem to offer anything for a security researcher but maybe there's enough there for a web developer.
- passfree 12y agoThis tool follows slightly different philosophy. We could have bundled all Websecurify security testing frameworks inside this app and make it more penetration testing friendly. Instead we thought that a different approach would be to create just a good proxy and add enough integration capabilities to be used side-by-side with other tools including the security tools we distribute elsewhere. In effect, it is a bit like the unix design which also closely matches the iOS application philosophy. That being said, dumping more tools inside is not an issue. We already have the frameworks to support it but we are not sure if this will be a good thing to do from usability point of view.
