Summary

Step by Step Guide on how to use w3af.

Requirements

  • Preferable Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Python2

Description

Installation

Enter these commands in the shell

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt install python2.7
git clone git@github.com:andresriancho/w3af.git
cd w3af/
./w3af_gui
./tmp/w3af_dependency_install.sh

In short, what happens here:

  • We use git to download w3af’s source code
  • Then we run w3af_gui, which will fail, because we have to install dependencies. This will create the file w3af_dependency_install.sh.
  • Next we install the dependencies with ./w3af_dependency_install.sh

Edit (Jan. 2023): Currently there might be new errors starting w3af_gui, therefore you might have to downgrade specific dependencies/packets or the whole OS.

Scanning

This is how the GUI looks like:
