SILENTCHAIN
AI pentesting extension for Burp Suite Professional that finds OWASP Top 10 issues and verifies them with proof.
If you already live in Burp Suite Professional and don't want your client's traffic sent to a third-party AI service, SILENTCHAIN Professional at $199 per seat per year is one of the few extensions doing active verification rather than only flagging. The free Community edition is a real test drive, not a crippled demo — you get passive OWASP Top 10 analysis, CWE mapping, and Ollama support with no card. The honest blocker: you must already own Burp Pro, and Community users never see the payload-driven verification, WAF fingerprinting, or HTML advisories that justify the upgrade. Teams wanting an unattended crawler should look at standalone scanners instead.

Skip SILENTCHAIN if you don't already run Burp Suite Professional, or if you need an unattended scanner that crawls an estate on its own rather than analyzing traffic through your proxy.
SILENTCHAIN does not include Burp Suite Professional — you need a separate Burp Pro license, which typically costs more per year than SILENTCHAIN itself at $199 per seat per year.
At $199 per seat per year, SILENTCHAIN Professional sits in the impulse-buy range for individual pentesters and small consultancies, especially against the cost of a Burp Pro seat it rides on. It undercuts most standalone commercial DAST platforms by a wide margin, but it is not a replacement for them — you are buying an extension, not a scanner. Budget-conscious solo testers can start on the free Community edition and only pay when they need active verification.
In short
SILENTCHAIN — AI pentesting extension for Burp Suite Professional that finds OWASP Top 10 issues and verifies them with proof. Best for Pentesters who already run Burp Suite Professional and want AI-assisted OWASP Top 10 triage, Bug bounty hunters who need verified findings with request/response evidence attached, Security teams on air-gapped or client-confidential engagements where traffic cannot leave the network. Free to start; paid plans from $199/yr.
What's new in SILENTCHAIN
Checked 5 days agoAcross the latest 5 updates: 1 feature update, 1 launch and 3 changelog entries.
SILENTCHAIN Professional v2.0.41
Fixed a passive-scan false-positive flood of missing Content-Security-Policy findings: CSP checks now run only on successful responses, skip the extension's own probe traffic, and are deduplicated per host.
SILENTCHAIN Professional v2.0.40
Added request-header fuzzing to Phase 2 active verification for SSRF and proxy headers, improved out-of-band and SSTI verification accuracy, and overhauled the local Ollama provider for more reliable structured output.
SILENTCHAIN Professional v2.0.39 — API-focused active checks
Added API-focused active checks to Phase 2: GraphQL introspection, insecure deserialization, JWT alg:none and SAML signature stripping, mass assignment, and OAuth redirect_uri tampering.
Introducing SILENTCHAIN Professional: Verified AI Findings for Burp Suite
Launched Professional at $199 per seat per year with Phase 2 active verification, WAF detection, out-of-band testing, 200+ curated payloads, and 10 AI providers.
Professional v2.0.31 & v2.0.30; Community v1.3.1
Professional added in-app updates via a license-gated download and guided install from inside Burp, and improved local Ollama reliability with structured JSON output and a larger context window. Community fixed Ollama returning zero findings on small models.

About SILENTCHAIN
SILENTCHAIN is an AI pentesting extension for Burp Suite Professional from Sn1perSecurity LLC, built by the makers of Sn1per. It analyzes the traffic already flowing through your proxy, maps each finding to the OWASP Top 10 and a CWE identifier with severity scoring, then — on the Professional edition — actively verifies suspected issues by generating targeted payloads instead of leaving you with unconfirmed alerts. Two editions ship: Community is free and open source with AI-powered passive analysis, sensitive-data sanitization before any AI request, 6 AI providers, and CSV export; Professional is $199 per seat per year (annual license, transferable between machines, no auto-rebill) and adds 200+ curated OWASP payloads, WAF detection across 24 signatures, out-of-band testing for XSS, SSRF, blind injection, RFI and XXE, HTML advisory reports with request and response evidence, in-app updates, and 10 AI providers. The 2.0.x line layered in API-focused active checks — GraphQL introspection, insecure deserialization, JWT alg:none, SAML signature stripping, mass assignment, and OAuth redirect_uri tampering — plus request-header fuzzing for SSRF and proxy headers. Privacy is the differentiator: point it at a local Ollama model and no request, response, or finding leaves your hardware, which makes it usable on engagements that forbid cloud AI. Findings land as native Burp issues and reports export as HTML or CSV. The catch is structural: it is an extension, not a standalone scanner, so you need a separate Burp Suite Professional license, and it does not integrate with the Sn1per platform despite sharing an owner.
Behind the Verdict
SILENTCHAIN's clearest strength is that it refuses to be a cloud GPT wrapper. Point it at a local Ollama model and the analysis runs entirely on your hardware — no request, response, or finding goes to a third-party AI service — and even when you do use a cloud provider, sensitive data is redacted before anything leaves. For consultancies and internal teams on engagements that contractually forbid shipping client traffic to an external API, that is often the deciding factor, and it is not something most AI scanners offer. The second strength is verification. Passive detection produces alerts; the Professional edition's Phase 2 engine turns them into proof by generating payloads from a library of 200+ curated OWASP payloads, running out-of-band callbacks for XSS, SSRF, blind injection, RFI and XXE, and detecting the WAF in front of the target across 24 signatures. The HTML advisory report carries the exact request and response for each verified finding, which is what a client or developer actually needs to act on it. Recent releases pushed this further into API territory: GraphQL introspection, insecure deserialization, JWT alg:none, SAML signature stripping, mass assignment, OAuth redirect_uri tampering, and request-header fuzzing for SSRF and proxy headers — exactly the checks that matter on modern apps where the interesting surface is behind JSON endpoints rather than HTML forms. The 2.0 line is also a genuine engineering rewrite: both editions moved to a native Java/Montoya extension, findings are emitted as native Burp issues so you stay in the workflow you already have, and in-app updates on Professional remove the manual reinstall chore. Where it falls short is scope. SILENTCHAIN is not a standalone scanner — it needs Burp Suite Professional, which is not included and costs more than the extension itself — and it only sees traffic that flows through your proxy, so an unattended estate-wide crawl is not what it does. Community users lose active verification, WAF fingerprinting, OOB testing and HTML reports entirely, which is a real functional gap rather than a cosmetic one. Beginners without Burp experience will find the tool assumes a lot of proxy fluency. There is also brand confusion to clear up: despite the shared owner, SILENTCHAIN does not integrate with the Sn1per platform, and the site states so explicitly. If you want browser-based scanning with nothing to install, this is the wrong shape of product.

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas SILENTCHAIN actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
Load the extension in Burp Suite Professional, point it at a local Ollama model so nothing leaves the laptop, browse the target application, and let passive analysis map findings to the OWASP Top 10 and CWE.
Outcome: A running list of mapped findings with severity scoring, plus Phase 2 verification on the ones worth proving, ending in an HTML advisory with the exact request and response attached.
Take a suspected SQL injection or SSRF from passive analysis, let Phase 2 generate targeted payloads from the 200+ curated set, and use out-of-band callbacks to confirm blind cases.
Outcome: A verified finding with evidence rather than an unconfirmed alert, which is the difference between a report that gets triaged and one that gets closed.
Run the API-focused active checks against GraphQL, JWT, SAML and OAuth flows while request-header fuzzing probes SSRF and proxy headers, then hand the HTML report to the development team.
Outcome: A prioritised list of API-specific issues — introspection enabled, alg:none accepted, mass assignment permitted — with reproduction evidence the developers can act on directly.

Models Under the Hood
as of 2026-09-22
Limitations
- SILENTCHAIN is an extension for Burp Suite Professional and requires a separate Burp Suite Professional license (Burp Suite is not included, and costs more than the extension itself).
- It is not a standalone scanner and only analyzes traffic that flows through your proxy.
- The Community edition is free and open source but lacks Phase 2 active verification, WAF detection and fingerprinting, out-of-band testing, and HTML advisory reports — it exports CSV only.
- Professional is $199 per seat per year on an annual license; licenses can be transferred between machines but only used on one machine at a time.
- Community support runs through GitHub on a best-effort basis.
- SILENTCHAIN does not integrate with the Sn1per platform despite the shared owner.

Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where SILENTCHAIN's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
At $199 per seat per year, SILENTCHAIN Professional sits in the impulse-buy range for individual pentesters and small consultancies, especially against the cost of a Burp Pro seat it rides on. It undercuts most standalone commercial DAST platforms by a wide margin, but it is not a replacement for them — you are buying an extension, not a scanner. Budget-conscious solo testers can start on the free Community edition and only pay when they need active verification.
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of SILENTCHAIN — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Ten to fifteen minutes for a Burp user: load the Community extension in Burp Suite Professional, run 'ollama pull llama3', point the provider setting at Ollama, and start browsing your target — the site's own quick start is three steps and no API keys. Professional adds a license key and in-app updates. Budget longer if you are installing Ollama and pulling a model for the first time, or if you
Switching to or from SILENTCHAIN
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From manual Burp Scanner triage: keep working in the same proxy but let passive analysis map each finding to OWASP Top 10 and CWE with severity scoring.
- →From a cloud AI Burp extension: switch the AI provider to local Ollama and stop sending client traffic to a third-party API.
- →From standalone unverified DAST output: import the alerts you care about by browsing the same endpoints and use Phase 2 to confirm rather than assume.
- →From CSV-only reporting: move to Professional for HTML advisories that carry the exact request and response as evidence.
- ↗To a standalone DAST platform: if you need unattended, estate-wide crawling rather than proxy-driven analysis, an extension will not cover it.
- ↗To a cloud-hosted scanner: if you want nothing installed locally and browser-based scanning, SILENTCHAIN's local-first model is the wrong shape.
- ↗Back to plain Burp Scanner: if you never use the AI analysis or active verification, the extension adds little over what you already have.
