Burp Suite alternative for non-HTTP traffic.
Burp Suite remains excellent for HTTP/HTTPS testing. InterceptSuite is built for the traffic Burp is not designed to inspect: raw TCP, TLS, DTLS, QUIC v1, UDP, and STARTTLS-style upgrades.
| Use case | Burp Suite | InterceptSuite |
|---|---|---|
| Web apps and REST APIs | Best fit | Limited |
| Apps with custom protocols | No | Yes |
| TCP/TLS interception outside HTTP | No | Yes |
| DTLS / raw UDP / QUIC v1 | No | Yes |
| Raw HTTP/3 over QUIC v1 | No | Yes |
| Routing proxy-unaware desktop apps | Requires external tooling | Yes |
Burp for web. InterceptSuite for non-HTTP.
Keep your existing Burp workflow for browser traffic. Add InterceptSuite when assessments include desktop apps, IoT protocols, binary wire formats, or encrypted non-HTTP channels.
Short answer: there is no single Burp Suite replacement. Keep Burp for web and API testing, and add InterceptSuite for desktop apps, IoT devices and custom protocols that are not HTTP.

Burp not intercepting your app's traffic?
Many apps ignore proxy settings or use raw TCP, TLS or UDP, which Burp does not handle. Read when Burp Suite isn't enough for a checklist and the fix.
A repeater for raw TCP and UDP
Burp's Repeater resends HTTP requests. Replay resends packets over TCP, TLS, STARTTLS, UDP, DTLS and QUIC, from Proxy History or built from scratch.
