Thanks for your interest in w3af!
I'm not a windows power user, so I don't really know about %HOMEDRIVE%
or anything like that ;) w3af uses the pythonic way of getting the
users home, which is:
import user
print user.home
The real code is located in "core/controllers/misc/homeDir.py" and looks like
def get_home_dir():
'''
@return: The location of the w3af directory inside the home
directory of the current user.
'''
home_path = user.home + os.path.sep + '.w3af'
return home_path
I have some ideas for you...:
- Modify the code and hardcode the home_path
- Or actually modify the HOME env, because I think that this is what
you really need to do. Here is a quote from the python documentation
"The home directory is assumed to be named by the HOME environment
variable; if this is not set, the current directory is used." [0]
