Before I go any further, all the information I needed was found in these great write-ups: I followed the steps I always do but saw nothing but “connection reset” errors in Burp:Īfter a few frustrating hours of troubleshooting, I finally figured out the issue lied with the latest versions of Android (API >= 24). This particular app I wanted to test, however, required a minimum API level 24 (Android 7.0 - “Nougat”) and suddenly it wasn’t working. I run Burp Suite locally, install the User Cert as outlined in Portswigger’s documentation, configure a WiFi proxy and I’m off the races. I’ve done quite a bit of Android testing in the past and my setup usually involves a Genymotion VM or my old rooted Nexus Tablet. I burned a whole afternoon troubleshooting the issue, and decided to write up what I found out and two different ways I got it working. This last weekend I started testing a new Android app for fun, and ran into some trouble getting Burp Suite working properly.
