## What it is
Reflector is a Burp Suite extension written in Java that detects reflected XSS vulnerabilities in real time while browsing a target web application. It highlights reflections in responses, analyzes reflection context, tests which special symbols are allowed, and generates Burp issues with severity ratings.

## Use cases
- find reflected xss while manually testing a website
- detect which special characters are reflected in page parameters
- analyze the html/js context of a parameter reflection
- automatically flag xss findings as burp issues during a pentest
- highlight reflected parameter values in http responses

## When to choose
- you already use Burp Suite for manual web application penetration testing
- you want passive, real-time XSS detection while browsing a target
- you need context analysis to judge exploitability of reflections

## When to avoid
- you need automated crawling and scanning without manual browsing
- you are not a Burp Suite user
- you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2021 and there is no license
