Hello all. I have noticed the version of w3af with kali is outdated.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with updating it?
All I have found for info on this was
http://m3tamantra.wordpress.com/2013...ali-linux-1-0/
It is numbers 4 and 5 I am having the issue with. I do not know where I should extract them.
I know it is probably right in front of me lol.
I would suggest adding the bleeding edge repos: http://www.kali.org/kali-monday/blee...-repositories/
There already has been a request in the bug tracker for an upgrade: http://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=344
I did that and now I get thebug stated here http://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=197
Is therea current work around?
I just did
apt-get install w3af
apt-get install w3af-console
Now w3af is running without errors.
I added the bleeding edge repos. and system found an update for w3af. But when update it and run it, it still opens me the 1.2 version.
If I delete it and install it again it will update correctly?
Thank you.
this method is NOT GOOD for KALI!!!(i-think)...Quote:

W3af is acting strange. When I start it I maximise it for better view. I'm filling in what I what to scan and click start.
During scanning it's leaving from maximise and start expand and reduce its size to the right.
I didn't have this problem with Kali's previous version.
(I don't know if I can post this kind of questions/problems here, as in not related directly with Kali.)
I was getting the following error "w3afException: There was an error while importing plugins.discovery.wordnet: "No module named nltk.corpus.util".
"
so i am trying to solve it with "apt-get install libsqlite3-dev python-setuptools python-pip",but i am getting an error.
Qoute:
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev python-setuptools python-pip

Package python-setuptools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Unable to locate package libsqlite3-dev
E: Package 'python-setuptools' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package python-pip
In other words, i cant get W3af to work at all.
This answer is only related to the apt-get install ............:Quote:

python-pip is already the newest version.
