From the course: Burp Suite Essential Training

Course disclaimer

- [Instructor] This is one of a series of Advanced Penetration Testing courses. And in addition to Kali Linux, it uses some third party testing software. While we've done our best to ensure that the tools we use and the sites we reference are legitimate, testing sites can be targets for hackers and we can't provide any assurance that these sites might not compromised when you visit them. Some of the sites which store the testing tools are detected as dangerous and may raise antivirus alerts when you visit them. The testing tools we use are extremely powerful. They may demonstrate some of the same signature characteristics as malware and malicious implants and may raise antivirus alerts when you try to download them. Again, we can't provide assurance that the software hasn't been compromised when you download it. And so as for any of software from the internet, you need to exercise due diligence and take personal responsibility for anything you load into your system. The testing is mostly carried out inside a virtual environment to contain any of unplanned effects of testing tools. And in the unlikely event that you do download malware, this will also help contain any impact.
