Hello! I am in the challenge exercise of the Burp Suite Basics lab, and I’m having trouble. I tried using another topic for a solution (1.3 Challenge Exercise | Burp Suite Basics), but it didn’t help. So far, I looked at the put request to the /api/v2/notes and tried to modify it using GET and retrieving the note based on the “no” id, but no cigar. Any help, please?
Yo, Jo (@JoCoderX68) – you’re so darn close. But you’re overthinking it.
I don’t want to say too much and thereby rob you of the satisfaction, so I’ll just encourage you to look at how they use the name value (“studentnote”) in the PUT request (your first screenshot), and compare it with how you’re trying to use the no value in your GET request.
If you are at the point of maximal frustration, DM me and I’ll provide you something more concrete. But, I think you’ve got this. What I’ve noted above is your only problem; resolve it, and get that cigar.
Happy hacking!

Yo, @raggetd, thank you so much, your advice finally made me solve this challenge after multiple months! I had no idea that one small parameter could be so infuriating yet so rewarding. Thank you!

Heccccckkk yeah, @JoCoderX68,
You’re welcome! And I love to hear this. Climbing that brick wall is a great feeling – and I hope this encourages you to keep chasing that feeling. Sometimes the reward is very delayed (like, months) but those rewards always taste incredibly sweet 
Great job, hacker!
