warn new docker users about kali rolling-release
I added a warning message to all 3 of the docker related commands in the Makefile.
Description
Here is the message I added:
Related Issue
Right now if you run any of those 3 docker-related make commands they will attempt to perform a docker image build from the provided Dockerfile which references
kalilinux/kali-rolling:latest
. After this project is left for a few months this build probably rot;kalilinux/kali-rolling:latest
will be updated to something newer and the old docker build won't work any more. For example right now it doesn't work because the package namedpython3.9
doesn't exist in the kali linux package repo any more.Motivation and Context
This change is required for new users who are not docker experts to be able to tell whats going on when they try to run the tool using docker and the image build part of it fails since OWTF has been left alone for a while and
kalilinux/kali-rolling:latest
changed. In fact, people may not even realize that it's running a docker build at all, since most projects provide a ready-to-run image as a part of their docker-compose.Reviewers
I don't know anyone to tag here
How Has This Been Tested?
I haven't tested it at all, but it's just an echo statement in the makefile.
