[solved] w3af cannot import name process_pdf

>w3af
There was an error while importing w3af.plugins.infrastructure.find_vhosts: "cannot import name process_pdf"




Solution:
  • apt-get install python-pip
  • type pip in the console. If it does not exist then you might need to search for it in either /usr/bin/python-pip or /usr/bin/pip and then doe the following two steps:
    • echo 'alias pip="/usr/bin/python-pip"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
    • . $HOME/.bashrc
  • pip install pdfminer==20110515 --upgrade OR  
    • pip --proxy http:// install pdfminer==20110515 --upgrade
  • w3af OR w3af_console
