Update script for bt4 (update.sh)

Hi there,

I have a weird problem with Firefox 4 and BT R2.

Firefox was not running while running this script.

After punching in @root: bash btupdate.sh -F

Code:

Something went wrong. Open konsole and run - firefox -v

System Info - Linux bt 2.6.35.8 i686

Here is the error that I get when I try to run w3af_gui or w3af_console:

Error: Python 2.5 was found and Python = 2.6 is required.


Thanks....

Hmmmm...
Try the commands manually and let me know what happens
Do them one at a time and print out the errors if you have the time.

mkdir /root/ffinstall
cd /root/ffinstall
wget http://download.mozilla.org/?product...nux&lang=en-US
tar -C /opt -xvf /root/ffinstall/firefox-*
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox4
rm -rf /root/ffinstall

Thanks for reporting this.

Yes I forgot to mention - You have to update to python 2.6 to use the updated w3af. I will be making this an optional update in the next release.

apt-get remove w3af
rm -rf /pentest/web/w3af
apt-get install w3af
