List, The development team is proud to announce a new w3af release! Some of the features of the 1.0-rc3 version are: * Enhanced GUI, including huge changes in the MITM proxy and the Fuzzy Request Editor * Increased speed by rewriting parts of the thread management code * Fixed tons of bugs * Reduced memory usage * Many plugins were rewritten using different techniques that use less HTTP requests to identify the same vulnerabilities * Reduced false positives You can download the latest versions from the official w3af website: http://w3af.sf.net/ , enjoy! Regarding the project itself, we realized that the time between each release were totally random, so we reorganized [0] the whole project in such a way that will force us to release periodically (or look bad if we don't). Contributing [1] is easier than ever, as we have defined clear ways of finding your tasks with categories, releases, etc. All projects have longstanding bugs, and w3af isn't the exception. I would like to ask for the help of the community to fix two very critical and complicated bugs [2][3] before we release the 1.0 version in three months time. If you've got the Python experience, and a couple of hours... please give it a try :) [0] https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/w3af/roadmap [1] https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/w3af/wiki [2] https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/w3af/ticket/160004 [3] https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/w3af/ticket/159995 Regards, -- Andrés Riancho Bonsai Information Security - CTO http://www.bonsai-sec.com/ http://w3af.sf.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review Board Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
