About

Burp Suite Community Edition is a desktop web security testing toolkit from PortSwigger. Its official site describes Burp as a suite of tools for hands-on testing, finding, and exploiting web vulnerabilities. This Homebrew entry is specifically the Early Adopter cask for the desktop product; it is not the separate Burp Suite cask.

  • Intended for hands-on web application security testing, including work by penetration testers and other security professionals.
  • Provides a suite of security testing tools for finding and investigating web vulnerabilities.
  • Distributed as the macOS application Burp Suite.app.
  • The cask has separate Apple silicon and Intel download builds.

Install with brew install --cask burp-suite@early-adopter, then open Burp Suite from your Applications folder. The cask conflicts with burp-suite, so both casks cannot be installed together.

$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \burp-suite@early-adopter

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed

Questions

Is Burp Suite Community Edition safe?

Burp Suite Community Edition is in Homebrew’s official catalog and has not been disabled. Since September 2026, Homebrew disables apps that fail macOS Gatekeeper checks.

Run brew uninstall --cask burp-suite@early-adopter. It quits the app. To delete its settings and caches as well, run brew uninstall --zap --cask burp-suite@early-adopter. That also deletes ~/.BurpSuite.

Does Burp Suite Community Edition run on Apple silicon (M1 and later) Macs?

Yes. Homebrew downloads separate builds for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
