Installing WPSeku on Ubuntu 16.04

This program WPSeku, is similar to WPScan but has different tests, so I thought that since I already have Python I would install it. The installation was much easier than WPScan.

# git clone https://github.com/m4ll0k/WPSeku.git
# cd WPSeku
# pip install -r requirements.txt
# python wpseku.py

I did have to install pip with “~/WPSeku$ sudo apt install python-pip”. It did install and upgrade my python packages.

Initially I kept getting a “permission denied” but then did a chmod:

sudo chmod 755 wpseku.py

Run WPSeku using “~/WPSeku$ ./wpseku.py -t http://yoursite.com”

WPSeku is very different from WPScan in that it checks different security aspects. WPSeku has a brute force attack ability, where you can feed it a password list. I can find no documentation for WPSeku.
