Configuration Guide

This guide explains how to configure Postman2Burp using configuration files and command-line options.

Configuration File

Postman2Burp supports configuration via a config.json file, making it easier to maintain consistent settings across multiple runs.

Location

The tool looks for a config.json file in the config directory. If found, it loads settings from this file.

Sample Configuration File

{
    "proxy_host": "localhost",
    "proxy_port": 8080,
    "verify_ssl": false,
    "skip_proxy_check": false
}

Available Configuration Options

Option	Type	Description
proxy_host	String	The hostname or IP address of the proxy server
proxy_port	Integer	The port number of the proxy server
verify_ssl	Boolean	Whether to verify SSL certificates
skip_proxy_check	Boolean	Whether to skip the proxy connection check

Creating a Configuration File

You can create a configuration file in two ways:

1. Manually

Create a config.json file in the config directory using the sample above.

2. Automatically

Run the script with your desired settings and add the --save-config flag:

python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json --proxy-host your-proxy-host --proxy-port 9090 --save-config

Command-Line Priority

Command-line arguments always take precedence over configuration file settings. This allows you to:

1. Maintain default settings in the configuration file
2. Override specific settings as needed for individual runs

Usage Examples

Using Configuration File Only

# Assuming config.json exists with your settings
python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json

Overriding Configuration File

# Override proxy host from config file
python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json --proxy-host different-proxy

# Override proxy port from config file
python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json --proxy-port 9090

Saving New Configuration

# Save current settings to config.json
python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json --proxy-host your-proxy --proxy-port 9090 --save-config

Environment Variables

Postman2Burp also supports environment variables for configuration. These take precedence over the configuration file but are overridden by command-line arguments.

Supported Environment Variables

Environment Variable	Description
POSTMAN2BURP_PROXY_HOST	Proxy hostname/IP
POSTMAN2BURP_PROXY_PORT	Proxy port number
POSTMAN2BURP_VERIFY_SSL	Set to "true" to verify SSL certificates
POSTMAN2BURP_SKIP_PROXY_CHECK	Set to "true" to skip proxy check

Example Usage

# Set environment variables
export POSTMAN2BURP_PROXY_HOST=localhost
export POSTMAN2BURP_PROXY_PORT=8080

# Run the tool (will use environment variables)
python postman2burp.py --collection your_collection.json
