Installing W3AF on Windows XP

April 14th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

This morning I talked about W3AF beta6 being available. Only now did I finally get time to install it... I wanted to test drive the UI, and it ended up being quite the task to get it installed. Part way through I realized that this would be a someone time consuming process and started documenting everything I had to do. I figured that others will most likely want to play with the UI on Windows XP so I'm going to share my documentation:

    I make all what you say, except:

    edit of the files SOAPpy because I really don`t understand and don´t find that line, the most similar lines that I find are

    1> ident = '$Id: Client.py,v 1.27 2005/02/21 20:27:09 warnes Exp $'
    2> from version import __version__
    3>
    4> from __future__ import nested_scopes

    wich are after the comments in that line (Number >)

    The other doubt is the modification of the target of the shortcut, because that change can't be accepted, so which other option I have to run w3af

    Hello,

    What should be used for the network interface setting? (”Configuration, Miscellaneous, Network Settings”)
    It is set by default to eth0, which obviously doesn’t work under windows.
