Burp Suite Essentials

Setting up the Ruby environment for Burp Extensions

Let's follow these steps to set up the Ruby environment:

1. Download a stable version of JRuby from http://www.jruby.org/download.
2. Download JRuby 1.7.15 Binary .zip and unzip this file. Inside the lib folder, you will find jruby.jar.
3. Copy this to E:\jruby\jruby.jar.
4. Configure the path through Extender | Options| Ruby Environment.

   Note

   Note that the path for JRuby depends on where you download JRuby in your machine.

We can also add the path of additional libraries required for Java-based extensions in the same place.
