      1. From the ThreadFix Options tab, enter the ThreadFix URL & API Key, the ThreadFix application from which to get endpoints, and the Target URL.

         • Add "/rest/latest" to the end of the ThreadFix URL in order for Burp to connect using the latest version of the API

         • If running ThreadFix over HTTPS, it may be necessary to import the ThreadFix server's certificate into Burp's trust store (<burp-install>/jre/lib/security)

      2. Then, from the ThreadFix Main tab, click Import Endpoints From ThreadFix.

Run Spider

1. Burp will import endpoints from the source code.
   
   

2. Begin the spider by choosing Spider from the Target tab.

2. Enter the correct URL and API key.
   
   

3. Choose the application for which to export a scan to ThreadFix.
   
   

4. A message will display informing the export succeeded.
   
   

    

5. Check ThreadFix to verify that the scan was uploaded.
   
   

Import ThreadFix Server Certificate

Burp comes packaged with it's own JRE, which is used when running the exe program. Users needing to import the ThreadFix server's certificate, in order to connect to it, should import it to <Burp Install>/jre/lib/security/cacerts.

Example command:

keytool -importcert -file /path/to/mythreadfix.cer -keystore /<burp path>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -alias tfcert

Note the ThreadFix certificate should have a SubjectAlternativeName, or there may have trouble establishing a connection. It should at least have the server's DNS name, plus its IP as a backup.
