1.4. about baseline/replace mode

Note: When using the intruder / repeater / scanner(burptool), be sure to select the request to be tested from the macro request list and execute "SendTo burptool".

• baseline mode
  If you select baseline mode, you can test parameters tracked and updated in MacroBuilder with BurpTool (scanner / repeater / intruder)

As shown in the figure below, when the pattern ['||'] is added to the parameter, only the parameter baseline part is updated, and the added pattern remains.so, you can test with a tool that inserts / appends a pattern to baseline such as scanner / intruder.

as contrast, repeater tool has no baseline request. so, MacroBuilder has baseline buffer for repeater which holds current repeater request as baseline. if you test MacroBuilder's request with repeater, you might select "■update baseline■" in popup menu which updates baseline buffer with current repeater request.

Note: When test with scanner / intruder after used with repeater tool in baseline mode, you should select "■Clear baseline■"　menu on the scanner / intruder screen or you should select the request to test from the Macro Request List and send to the scanner / intruder with sendTo popup menu. Without you take this action, then repeater's baseline buffer affects to scanner/intruder's baseline, so parameter tracking/update may failed.

• replace mode
  When replace mode is selected, as shown in the figure below, if the pattern ['||'] is added to the parameter, the parameter baseline part + the whole pattern is tracked and updated. Therefore, tracking/update parameters in the replace mode is not subject to test.
