Verifying Installation

After loading VISTA in Burp Suite:

2. Status bar shows at the bottom with:
   • VISTA version number
   • AI status indicator (🔴 Not Configured / 🟢 Ready)
   • Provider & model info (after configuration)
3. Five sub-tabs are available:
   • 💡 AI Advisor
   • 🌐 Traffic Monitor

Troubleshooting

Extension Won’t Load

• Check Java version: VISTA requires Java 17+. Run java -version to verify.
• Check Burp logs: Go to Extensions → Errors tab to see any loading errors.
• Verify JAR integrity: Re-download the JAR if it may be corrupted.

No VISTA Tab Appears

• Ensure the extension is listed under Extensions → Installed
• Check that the extension checkbox is enabled (checked)
• Restart Burp Suite if needed
