Installing Watobo on BackTrack 5

Watobo author Andy Schmidt made 2 great videos about installing Watobo on Windows and on BackTrack 5. You can find them here .

I created a rather simple and short shell script to install Watobo on BT5. Nothing new, nothing sensational, just to alleviate the installation process.

Here is the shell script:

#!/bin/bash

############################################
#
# ........just installing Watobo on BT5 R1
#
############################################

cd /pentest/web
echo
echo "Installing fxruby............."
echo
gem1.8 install fxruby

echo "Installing ffi.........."
echo
gem1.8 install ffi

echo "Installing selenium-webdriver..........."
echo
gem1.8 install selenium-webdriver

echo "Checking out Watobo ................"
echo
svn co https://watobo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/watobo watobo

cd watobo
# in start-watobo.rb change hashbang to
# #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
# and do a chmod 755 start_watobo.rb
#
sed -i -e 's/bin\/ruby/bin\/ruby1.8/g' start_watobo.rb

chmod 755 start_watobo.rb

echo
echo "Done installing Watobo..............."
echo

To start Watobo on the command line you can issue

./start_watobo.rb

and/or you can add a gnome panel launcher:

Right mouse click on gnome panel  –> Add to panel  –> Custom Application Launcher (Create a new launcher) –> Add

Command:

gnome-terminal --working-directory="/pentest/web/watobo" -e "bash -c \"./start_watobo.rb;exec bash \""

Have phun and enjoy Watobo!
