Does the w3af have python3 version?

[andresriancho]

No, but we'll have to migrate at some point!

[MartinFalatic]

That time is quickly approaching (especially since Python 2 won't have security updates itself after the end of this year). Has there been progress in this regard?

[andresriancho]

No progress in this area.

Python 2 is dead in a month, and many distributions started to remove python2 packages already. It makes sense to start the migration.

Hm yeah, bigger major distros will not package python2 in upcoming versions, sad to see this tool struggling soon. It may obviously be lots of work and testing time, but hope this doesn't vanish

Is this tool still active or is it dead

[Kali95739]

It's dead use industry standards such as acunetix burpsuite or detectify.

It is depressing that w3af quietly died like this. At the moment, it requires a good bit of messing around to get working now. I hope to see it return again, but it does not seem likely as even the author has left it behind.

I'm happy to report that there is some work on-going on a python3 version: https://github.com/w4af/w4af
It's still in pretty early stages, but feedback and user experience reports are greatly appreciated.
