The wpscan that comes with kali-linux will fail to update when it is used for the first time (has been stopped at the following interface)
It can be solved perfectly through the following steps
The update failed because the website cannot be accessed and the file cannot be downloaded. We can download the file locally and use the local web service to update.
Download wpscan update file
wget http://blog.dsb.ink/wpscan/wp.zip
Unzip the update file
unzip wp.zip
Move to the html folder
mv wpscan /var/www/html/
Find the update configuration file of wpscan
dpkg -L wpscan | grep updater
Modify the file (the file name may be different afterwards)
vim /usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/wpscan-3.7.5/lib/wpscan/db/updater.rb
Transpose the original URL to the local (line 81)
http://127.0.0.1/wpscan/
Open the local apache service (this step is very important)
service apache2 start
Update again
wpscan --update
bingo！
completed！
