Installing the Burp Suite CA certificate (Chrome)

When you browse HTTPS sites through Burp Suite, the proxy acts as a certificate authority. For each host it generates an SSL certificate signed with Burp's shared CA key.

That CA material is written to the local environment the first time you start Burp. To use the Burp Suite proxy against HTTPS sites, you must install the Burp Suite CA certificate into the browser's Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

Issuing and installing the Burp Suite CA certificate

Assume the local proxy already points at the Burp Suite proxy server.
