Hi,

I just reproduced the error and it seem's that there is some issue with progressbar gem which Wpscan uses. 

I have filed this issue to the wpscan team on your behalf. I will update you as soon as there is any update from wpscan team.

Here is the link for the issue i filed with wpscan. https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan/issues/922

Thanks for letting me know the bug. I didn't tested this feature(bruteforce) on windows, that is why it was left.

From the error  it seems that your wpscan is still not updated.

Please perform steps below:- 

(1) cd c:/PentestBox/bin/WebApplications/wpscan/
(2) git pull origin master

Now open another tab using "CTRL+ T" and then again try to operate.

let me know if problem persists.

Thanks

No, it does not work...
C:\Users\
> wpscan --url webpage.com --enumerate u
Ruby >= 2.1.9 required to run wpscan (You have 2.1.8)


:(

I guess you clone wpscan original version from their Github Repo. https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan

Because that 2.1.9 requirement was added in original repo not our repo. https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan/commit/6451510449d7ce16024a1a27971aa66d83d1d4eb

Please only use our cloned version https://github.com/pentestbox/wpscan

Thanks

I'm sorry for causing so much trouble = (.... if you want, isn't necessary more responses, i can wait for another version of pentestbox, or maybe in some months there's a solution

No issues. I am more concerned here because i am not facing any issues in my installation. We can solve this issue. Required version of curl is already there, so SSL CA error should not be there.

I have searched about this above error, it seem's like it is common issue with other users as well.

Please try this on your terminal " wpscan --update --random-agent"

And let me know if that doesn't fix.

Thanks

I guess there are some files removed from your installation, so please reinstall PentestBox and make sure it is installed on C:/PentestBox. Currently you are having it on desktop.

Glad to know that it is working fine. But i am still confused why i am not able to replicate above error on my installation. I have tried on different machines and in all of them it is working like charm.

Hello guys i have the sames issues:

i created fake password and mixed with original passport:
