While this is certainly possible, w3af's windows installer does "almost the same thing" but with a nice installer. If I don't recall incorrectly, the windows installer for w3af bundles python with all packages installed, and also some installers for the packages which require a DLL installation outside from the w3af\python2.7\ directory. Creating an installer which uses cygwin would (potentially, would have to analyze it further) take more time to update the pre-existing installer. The bad thing is that the windows installer is awfully outdated. > PS : I have tried to install (without sucess) W3AF threading2 branch on > Windows 7 and it has been a nightmare because I cannot found all > dependencies for Windows platform :o( Which dependencies are hard to install? Not even sure if this makes sense but... do you have "pip" installed in your windows and are using "pip install package" ? > Dom -- Andrés Riancho Project Leader at w3af - http://w3af.org/ Web Application Attack and Audit Framework Twitter: @w3af GPG: 0x93C344F3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
