As you all seem to pretty interested in Inguma, there’s something else similar called w3af - the fifth BETA was released a while back and the team are now working on the sixth.

w3af is a Web application attack and Audit Framework. The project goal is to create a framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities that is easy to use and

We did mention when it was first released - w3af - Web Application Attack and Audit Framework.

There are a lot of small changes, but the basic and bigger ones are:

  • Virtual daemon, a way to use Metasploit framework payloads/shellcodes while exploiting web applications.
  • w3afAgent, a reverse VPN that allows you to route packets through the compromised server
  • Good samaritan, a module that allows you to exploit blind sql injections much faster
  • 20+ new plugins
  • A lot of bug fixes
  • A much more stable core.

A full plugin list is here:

The users guide can be found here:

    I wish they’d sort out the annoying tidy issue:

    [daniel@touchme ~]$ w3af
    You have to install utidy lib.
    Error: No module named tidy

    even when utidy is installed and working

    Never seem a program that just focuses on this. Thanks for the post Darknet.

    I have a quick question, by web vulnerability tool do you mean programs that operate within a webpage or actual exploits for the webpage you are viewing (or something else I am completely missing)?

    I wrote a script to update w3af and install the new prerequisites to use its new gtkUI:
