Webscarab editing issue


enter image description here

Hello everyone I think I have a pretty unique issue here with Webscarab. Downloaded it and installed fine on ubuntu w/ java -jar webscarab-installer-20070504-1631.jar (found on sourceforge) it's configured fine and it is monitoring traffic, but every time I try to manually edit an intercepted request it will pop up a hidden window w/ the request(you can see three dots in the bottom left of the image to indicate the main window and two others are open). The problem is I cannot open that window, I'll try to click on one of the 'edit requests' when i right click that button, but it won't open them. it just keeps showing me that manual edit page. I tried reinstalling didn't fix it. java version is 1.7.0_85. Please help!


Solution

  • OK, so not a direct answer, but is there any particular reason you are using Webscarab? That tool hasnt been updated for many years :/

    Not too surprisingly I'd recommend you using OWASP ZAP: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/ZAP which is the most actively maintained open source web security tool.
