Explanation
Repeater is correct because it lets you manually capture, edit, and resend individual HTTP/HTTPS requests - making it the go-to tool for intercepting and modifying traffic before it reaches the server.
- Intruder (B) automates repeated requests with payload injection for fuzzing and brute-forcing, but doesn't focus on manually modifying a single request before sending.
- Scanner (C) passively or actively scans for vulnerabilities automatically - it doesn't give you manual control over request modification.
- Spider (D) crawls a web application to map its content and endpoints; it has no request-editing capability.
Memory tip: Think of Repeater as a "repeat with edits" button - you intercept a request in Proxy, send it to Repeater, tweak it however you like, then repeat it to the server as many times as needed.
