[W3af-users] Several w3af questions and issues

[ziadmo1 . <zi...@gm...>]

*Point 1) *
Not sure if its a bug or not.. When I create a custom profile (based on
OWASP top 10 for example), the changes don't take effect on the newly saved
custom profile. For example, if I disable "infrastructure", and I click
"save configuration to profile", then I select any other profile, when I
get back to the "custom" profile I just created, I still see
"infrastructure" as part of that profile.


*Point 2) *
Which plugin or option is this output generated from?

Created 27 mutants for "Method: POST | https://XXX.XXX.XXX | URL encoded
form: (category, subcategory, postal_code, distance, validated,
form_build_id, form_id, op)" (post data: 24, query string: 3)


*Point 3) *
When I Stop the scan through w3af_gui, in the console output the core is
still running, and therefore I am forced to hit Ctrl-C.. At that point I
lose all the output that I had generated so far (results, etc).


*Point 4)*
When the scan is running, I did not see the HTML output file generated
under ~/ which where it usually saves it. Does it wait until the scan is
completely done to save contents to it? This is why when I do Ctrl-C on
step 4 I lose all output, since there is nothing saved on the file. I would
suggest creating the file as soon as the scan starts and fill it up as the
scan goes so output is not lost if for whatever reason the scan takes too
long or if w3af freezes for example.


*Point 5) *
Is there a way to specify how much system memory w3af_gui can use?

Under
http://docs.w3af.org/en/latest/advanced-tips-tricks.html?highlight=memory

it mentions the cache size of "10", but what does 10 refers to in terms of
memory?



I am using Version 1.7.6 through Kali Linux 2.0.
