Static-triage CLI and lightweight HTTP daemon for quick file inspection. Supports PE, ELF, Mach-O, APK, IPA.

thc4me — Thick Client Extension for Burp Suite

Status: MVP (pre-release). Tested on macOS with Burp Suite Pro/Community and Java 17. THC4M3 is a minimal Burp extension that helps you test thick-client apps without drowning in noise: label/annotate only the traffic you care about, and generate a quick PAC file.

---

✨ What it does

• Events table that logs/labels interesting requests & responses
• Allow-lists for Host (regex), Port (CSV), MIME (regex)
• Show/annotate only matching traffic to reduce noise
• PAC generator to route only your target domains via Burp
• Checklist sub-tab for thick-client test setup (save/load/export)

No telemetry. Everything runs inside Burp.

---

🔧 Install

1. Download the latest thc4m3.jar from Releases.
2. In Burp: Extensions → Installed → Add → Java and select the JAR.
3. Confirm the THC4M3 tab appears.

If you’re on macOS and running Burp from a mounted .dmg, copy it to /Applications first.
If HTTPS fails due to TLS interception, install Burp’s CA certificate in your OS trust store or use curl -k during smoke tests.

---

⚡ Quick start (MVP)

1. In the THC4M3 tab, set:
   • Host allow (regex): e.g. .*(api|login|auth|gateway).*|localhost|127\.0\.0\.1
   • Port allow (comma): 80,443,8080,8443
   • MIME allow (regex): ^(application/json|application/xml|text/.*|application/octet-stream)$
2. Click Apply Filters.
3. (Optional) Click Generate PAC… and use it in your app/OS to only proxy target hosts via Burp.

Smoke tests

Send traffic through Burp on 127.0.0.1:8080

curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080 -k https://postman-echo.com/get -I curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080 -k https://postman-echo.com/post
-H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"hello":"world"}'

🧩 Checklist tab

A thin, practical list for thick-client setup (pinning, TLS suites, IPC/local endpoints, file I/O caches/logs/secrets, etc.). Use Save / Load / Export… to persist or share checklists for a project.

---

🛠️ Build locally

Requires Java 17 and Gradle Wrapper (included).

./gradlew clean jar

JAR: build/libs/thc4m3.jar

unzip -p build/libs/thc4m3.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | grep Burp-Extender-Class

Expect: Burp-Extender-Class: com.jb.thickclient.BurpExtender

---

❓ Troubleshooting

Extension loads but no tab: Ensure you launched Burp from /Applications (macOS app sandbox prompts can block access when run from a DMG).

HTTPS failures: Install Burp CA into your OS keychain, or use -k only for quick tests.

No events appear: Confirm your Host/Port/MIME allow-lists match, then generate a PAC or point your app to the Burp proxy.
