Hi Andres:

How/where are the auth plugins (within w3af) ?

Also, I should have clarified last email, it is https. Will the plugins be able 
to pass the https login screen ? 

Thank you.
Sam

Hi:

I am trying to use w3af for an web app to Pen Test, run usual OWASP and other 
popular attacks. 

The Web app landing page has a login screen, and to make the plugins pass the 
login page successfully I tried to provide the username and password with the 
(w3af GUI option) Configuration, Configure HTTP Settings, Basic HTTP 
Authentication options. 



Does it use HTTP Basic authentication? If you see a nice form, which is defined 
with HTML then the answer is no. You should use the auth plugins for that.
 


But, it does not seem to work. Everytime I do the scan, w3af seems stuck at the 
login page, the scan ends very rapidly and essentially is not reaching internal 
(post login screen) pages.



Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sam
