Run OWASP ZAP (zaproxy) on ubuntu

Since firefox was moved to snap, I had problems to run Owasp ZAP on my ubuntu.

Even worse, because chrome (chromium) doesn't seem to work well either.

How can it be run successfully using chrome and/or firefox?

Solution

  • I finally managed to get it working both for chrome and firefox.

    Steps:

    1. install zap via snap: sudo snap install zaproxy --classic
    2. run zap: zaproxy
    3. once it starts and you have updated the plugins, restart it.
    4. go to Tools -> Options and select Display.
    5. Mark the option Enable app integration in containers.
    6. Now select Selenium in the left menu.
    7. change webdriver locations. Use /snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver for chrome and /snap/bin/firefox.geckodriver for firefox. enter image description here
    8. save changes.
