Colonel Clustered: Finding Outliers in Burp Intruder

Colonel Clustered is a newly released Burp Suite extension designed to enhance the analysis of HTTP responses during fuzzing. Traditional penetration testing workflows often rely on basic metrics like response size, status codes, and timing to find anomalies in Burp Intruder. However, these metrics frequently miss subtle content variations. This extension automates the identification of outliers by grouping request/response pairs based on the actual similarity of their content.

The tool utilizes the DBSCAN algorithm for fast, automated clustering and offers a "Deep Analysis" mode for more computationally intensive similarity matrix calculations. By automatically calibrating parameters to the specific dataset at hand, it removes the guesswork for the user and allows security analysts to efficiently identify "needles in the haystack" within thousands of requests. The extension is currently available via GitHub and has been submitted to the Bapp Store.
