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.
