attrs extensionName,tabName => obj var EXTENSION_NAME, TAB_NAME

[libcrack]

The extension name shown within Burp suite's tabs Software Version Reported is maybe a bit long. It seems that "Target", "Proxy" or "Spider" tabs are 1/3 long in comparison with the Software Version Reported. As a consequence, Burp's tabs panel gets fully bloated when using a small number extensions.

This patch shorts the Software Version Reported tab's name.

If the full extension name must appear, a solution to keep the show tab name could be to pass the static variable EXTENSION_NAME to callbacks.issueAlert(), displaying this way the full extension name in the "Alerts" tab of burp proxy when the extension is loaded. The following excerpt shows an example of this approach:

public class BurpExtender implements IBurpExtender, ... {

    private IBurpExtenderCallbacks callbacks;
    private IExtensionHelpers helpers;

    public static String EXTENSION_NAME = "Software Version Check";
    public static String TAB_NAME = "Versions";   // or Ver. Check,or SoftCheck, or
                                                  // whatever shorter name you prefer
    [...]

    // Implements IBurpExtender 
    @Override
    public void registerExtenderCallbacks(IBurpExtenderCallbacks callbacks) {
        this.callbacks = callbacks;
        helpers = callbacks.getHelpers();
        callbacks.issueAlert(String.format("Loading extension " + EXTENSION_NAME));
        callbacks.setExtensionName(TAB_NAME);

     [...]

    }

I'm considering whether this should be a modification to the BaseExtender class:

https://github.com/augustd/burp-suite-utils/blob/master/src/com/codemagi/burp/BaseExtender.java

Calling setExtensionName() will change the name not only in the tab, but also in the list of loaded extensions in the Extender tab.

Fair enough, I can see it on https://github.com/augustd/burp-suite-utils/blob/master/src/com/codemagi/burp/BaseExtender.java:

public abstract class BaseExtender implements IBurpExtender {

protected String extensionName = "Base Extension";

Shall I close this pull request?

If you change it so just line #40 is changed I'll merge it:

mTab = new BurpSuiteTab(TAB_NAME, callbacks);

[libcrack]

something like this? :-)

[augustd]

Close enough.
