I had a bit of trouble with this one, and so have the guys at remote-exploit forums…
I wrote a script to try to make it easier.
cd to wherever you want w3af to go, preferably somewhere with plenty of space, then:
wget http://nukeit.org/w3af-bt3.sh
chmod a+x w3af-bt3.sh
./w3af-bt3.sh
Installs/upgrades:
w3af (via svn)
python
glib
pango
gtk+-2
pygobject
pygtk
pysqlite
pydot
pyparsing
SOAPpy
cluster
fpconst
pyPdf
pygoogle
pywordnet
Tested on bt3 final running on virtualbox:
