Re: Wafw00f issue

Re Open

It seems that ptf> use modules/install_update_all, broke the wafw00f install in Kali Linux Rolling.

The only way or running wafw00f successfully is going to:

/pentest/intelligence-gathering/waffit/wafw00f/
and running main.py

ls on the folder:

/pentest/intelligence-gathering/waffit/wafw00f# ls -ltrn
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 jul 28 00:39 tests
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 jul 28 00:39 plugins
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 628 jul 28 00:39 manager.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 20390 jul 28 00:39 main.py
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 jul 28 00:39 lib
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 46 jul 28 00:39 init.py
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 jul 28 00:39 bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 177 jul 28 00:39 init.pyc

If I run it using the command wafw00f directly in that folder or any folder the error I get is:

/pentest/intelligence-gathering/waffit/wafw00f# wafw00f

I've added pluginbase as a requirement in the latest version of PTF. You can simply type pip install pluginbase to resolve this issue.

Thanks for the report.

Hi, As I mentioned before:

pip install pluginbase
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pluginbase in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Regards

Then use pip install --upgrade. When I use it on Ubuntu it works fine. You could be using an out of date version of Python.

The error message is clear.

[niemant]

I do understand the error is clear, but again:

pip install --upgrade pluginbase
Requirement already up-to-date: pluginbase in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

This happened when I "installed" ptf, is there any route of python that it modifies?

Thanks

When I run locate searching for pluginbase here is the result:

I've also tried reinstalling wafw00f but I get the same error.

Solved it running again:

ptf> use modules/install_update_all

Thanks for your patience and assistance
