# INSTALL

WPScan comes pre-installed on the following Linux distributions:

- [BackBox Linux](http://www.backbox.org/)
- [Kali Linux](http://www.kali.org/)
- [Pentoo](http://www.pentoo.ch/)
- [SamuraiWTF](http://samurai.inguardians.com/)
- [BlackArch](http://blackarch.org/)

On macOS WPScan is packaged by [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) as [`wpscan`](http://braumeister.org/formula/wpscan).

Windows is not supported

We suggest you use our official Docker image from https://hub.docker.com/r/wpscanteam/wpscan/ to avoid installation problems.

# DOCKER
Pull the repo with `docker pull wpscanteam/wpscan`

## Start WPScan

```
docker run -it --rm wpscanteam/wpscan -u https://yourblog.com [options]
```

For the available Options, please see https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan#wpscan-arguments

If you run the git version of wpscan we included some binstubs in ./bin for easier start of wpscan.

## Examples

Mount a local wordlist to the docker container and start a bruteforce attack for user admin

```
docker run -it --rm -v ~/wordlists:/wordlists wpscanteam/wpscan --url https://yourblog.com --wordlist /wordlists/crackstation.txt --username admin
```

Use logfile option
```
# the file must exist prior to starting the container, otherwise docker will create a directory with the filename
touch ~/FILENAME
docker run -it --rm -v ~/FILENAME:/wpscan/output.txt wpscanteam/wpscan --url https://yourblog.com --log /wpscan/output.txt
```

(This mounts the host directory `~/wordlists` to the container in the path `/wordlists`)

### Installing dependencies on macOS

Apple Xcode, Command Line Tools and the libffi are needed (to be able to install the FFI gem), See [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17775115/cant-setup-ruby-environment-installing-fii-gem-error](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17775115/cant-setup-ruby-environment-installing-fii-gem-error)

## Installing with RVM (recommended when doing a manual install)

If you are using GNOME Terminal, there are some steps required before executing the commands. See here for more information:
https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal#integrating-rvm-with-gnome-terminal

    # Install all prerequisites for your OS (look above)
    cd ~
    curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
    curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

# KNOWN ISSUES

  - Typhoeus segmentation fault

      Update cURL to version => 7.21 (may have to install from source)

  - Proxy not working

      Update cURL to version => 7.21.7 (may have to install from source).

      Installation from sources :

        Grab the sources from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
        Decompress the archive
        Open the folder with the extracted files
        Run ./configure
        Run make
        Run sudo make install
        Run sudo ldconfig


  - cannot load such file -- readline:

        sudo aptitude install libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev

      Then, open the directory of the readline gem (you have to locate it)

        cd ~/.rvm/src/ruby-XXXX/ext/readline
        ruby extconf.rb
        make
        make install


      See [http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/ruby-on-rails/fixing-readline-for-the-ruby-on-rails-console/](http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/ruby-on-rails/fixing-readline-for-the-ruby-on-rails-console/) for more details

  - no such file to load -- rubygems

      ```update-alternatives --config ruby```

      And select your ruby version
