How Does Dr. Watson Work?

Dr. Watson takes regexes from the issues_library.json file and attempts to match said regexes with responses within Burp Suite. Once it matches a regex, it raises an issue with the severity defined in the config, as a finding for the target host. It is simple, sweet, and easy to use!
