KNOWN ISSUES

• Typhoeus segmentation fault

  Update cURL to version => 7.21 (may have to install from source) See http://code.google.com/p/wpscan/issues/detail?id=81

• If you have one the following errors : "-bash: !t: event not found", "-bash: !u: event not found"

  It happens with enumeration : just put the 't' or 'u' before the 'p!' : '-e tp!' instead of '-e p!t'

• Proxy not working

  Update cURL to version => 7.21.7 (may have to install from source). See wpscanteam#7
