Hetty is an open source HTTP toolkit for security research, serving as an alternative to Burp Suite Pro. It provides a MITM HTTP proxy with logging and search, request interception, an HTTP client for replaying requests, and a web-based admin interface with project-based storage.

Use cases

  • intercept and inspect HTTP requests during penetration testing
  • find an open source alternative to Burp Suite Pro
  • replay and manually edit proxied HTTP requests
  • log and search HTTP traffic during bug bounty hunting
  • set up a MITM proxy with a trusted root CA for testing
  • organize pentest work with scoped projects and stored traffic

When to choose

  • you need a free, open source Burp Suite alternative for web security testing
  • you want a lightweight MITM proxy with a web admin UI and project-based storage
  • you do bug bounty or infosec research and need request interception and replay

When to avoid

  • you need the full advanced feature set of Burp Suite Pro such as extensive extension ecosystems and automated scanners
  • you need a non-HTTP protocol proxy or fully mature enterprise tooling
