Summary0001163: Cutycapt doesn't take screenshot if server is using self-signed certificates
Description

The version of Cutycapt (screenshot taking application) in Kali's repositories in versions <= 1.0.6 does not take screenshots if the web server is using self-signed certificates.

This is very easy to fix by updating to the latest version published by the author which includes the --insecure flag.

Steps To Reproduce

cutycapt --url=https://site-using-self-signed-certificate:443 --out=test.png

Additional Information

This can be fixed by using/compiling the latest version of the tool available at the official site here: http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/

According to the author (and successfully tested on Kali 1.0.6 64-bit) the tool can be compiled with the following commands:

% apt-get install subversion libqt4-webkit libqt4-dev g++
% svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/cutycapt/code/ cutycapt
% cd cutycapt/CutyCapt
% qmake
% make
% ./CutyCapt --url=http://www.example.org --out=example.png

Some of the dependencies are already installed by default.

Just to add that the issue still persists in the latest version of Kali (1.0.9). It would be really great if this was fixed! :)

We won't fix cutycapt in Kali. However once it's fixed in Debian, it will be fixed in Kali too:
