List,
I'm thinking about adding a new feature to detect if the version
running in the users box, is actually the latest version. To do that,
w3af will need to send a request to the w3af.sourceforge.net page,
which will answer back with the current version and then w3af will
parse that and report if outdated.
Because I know some of you are a little paranoid about me logging
your IP addresses, I'll also create a --no-ckeck flag that you could
use to disable this check.
Now the hard part of this email... I would like to use this
feature to collect a simple statistic on how many w3af users use
linux, how many use windows, and how many use any other operating
system. To do this, I would add a parameter to the "check for latest
version" script that would look like this:
http://w3af.sf.net/check_latest.php?os=linux
With this information, I'll be able to focus on the most important
platform (which I suspect is linux, but sometimes guessing is not
enough), and I could delegate the ports to other platforms to other
developers. The question is... would this bother you?
Thanks for reading my nagy emails =)
Cheers,
