hi folks, What about to make w3af a little bit more stable?, i know a lot of people who get disappointed when w3af crashes or hang up. It even makes me pray when i use it!
wish list: - that w3af finish every scan without crashing, with a reasonable (not all of them) amount of vulns i already know are there, and without a great amount (not zero) of false positives. This is a good goal to me. And yes, i think that a feature freeze is the solution to this problem. cheers eldraco On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Andres Riancho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > List, > > This is a simple email that aims to set some objectives for the > project near future, it's not definitive, you can contribute by adding > or removing items (you are supposed to contribute!): > > What's being done right now: > 1- I'm fixing some performance bugs, adding new simple features, > and modifying the way the grep plugins work.
