Updates & Maintainance

There are two ways of keeping OWTF up to date.

• Updating between stable versions.
• Updating to bleeding edge OWTF (Can be buggy).

Updating between stable versions

This is the recommended way for users who are not prepared for a bumpy ride. To update OWTF to latest stable version, use the following command.

./owtf.py --update

If you are behind a HTTP Proxy server which supports BASIC or DIGEST auth, then

./owtf.py --update -x proxy_ip:proxy_port -xa username:password

Updating to bleeding edge OWTF

To use bleeding edge OWTF, make sure you use git to update your copy of OWTF.

git pull

ALERT: '--update' flag resets the HEAD of local OWTF to latest stable version, so bleeding edge users are not supposed to use this flag.
