# Sample Burp Suite extension: Session Tokens

This example demonstrates how you can couple a recorded macro with an extension

to automatically gain a session token for a website and use it in later requests

that Burp makes.

The macro mechanism that Burp provides allows you to record the request

triggering creation of a session made via the proxy. To facilitate this demo we

provide a NodeJS server that allows you to inject XSS but only for a given

session.

First, to create the macro:

Burp / Project options / Sessions -> Macros -> Add

![Macro UI](macro1.png)

Upon inspection you can see in the response to the request that the webserver

provides a session token, in this case as a header named `X-Custom-Session-Id`.

Now you need to use this knowledge to build an extenion. By registering using

`callbacks.registerSessionHandlingAction(this);` and implementing the 

`ISessionHandlingAction` interface your extension can inspect the result of the

macro, provided in the second parameter of

```java

public void performAction(IHttpRequestResponse currentRequest, IHttpRequestResponse[] macroItems)

```

using this knowledge to alter the first parameter, i.e. the current request that

Burp is handling, which in this case will be a proxied request, but can rewrite

requests made by any of Burp's tools, e.g. the Scanner or Repeater.

Now to link these together in a Session handling rule:

Burp / Project options / Sessions -> Session Handling Rule -> Add Session handling rule

Now you can configure Burp to use this rule for Scanning and only when

browsing the local site:

Now, when performing an active scan in Burp, you will find XSS as Burp is able

to carry a custom session token across requests:
