During this week’s online session, we talked about the Samurai Web Testing Framework. Similar in some respects to Kali, a Linux distribution, but devoted to web tests, the platform that started as a virtual machine (available on SourceForge) is now a project on Github, and through Github, it is hoped that other virtualization systems can be used instead of having to have the dedicated VM.
SourceForge (VM): https://sourceforge.net/projects/samurai/ (note, this is approximately 3.5 gb)
Github: https://github.com/SamuraiWTF/samuraiwtf (note, multiple downloads required)
For this Discussion Question, download and test the Samurai WTF using one of the methods above. Return to this question and let us know:
- Your experiences with the installation and use.
- Name three (or more) advantages of using the Samurai WTF.
- Would you recommend others use the Samurai WTF? Why or Why Not?
