This was my goto-dist when pentesting but lately I have spending more time reinstalling this system trying to figure out what breaks what.

Fresh install Parrot 5.3 I can run wpscan with no problem, after sudo apt full-update it doesn’t work anymore and there is nothing more than the systems bin installed.

Why does this happens? Made 13 installs this weekend and all get this error after an apt update. Arent’t the packages checked to work before pushed for update?

Do sudo gem install wpscan instead. It will give you latest version with all compatible dependencies.

That did work, but now wpscan can’t even detect a 100% identified WordPress machine as a WordPress site. Any other settings for this new version?
