Summary0002238: Architecture guessing of zarp init script not working inside a container
Description

The script used to start ZAP (/usr/bin/zaproxy) uses this to gather the architecture of the machine:
ARCH=uname -r|cut -d "-" -f 3

But when running Kali inside a LXC container in an Ubuntu host, the "uname -r" command returns something like this:
3.13.0-49-generic

Wouldn't it be better to get the arch with the "-m" option of "uname"?
-m, --machine print the machine hardware name

That would imply changing the if's in the script, as the strings returned are different.

Thanks.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a Debian-based container in Ubuntu.
  2. Configure Kali repos.
  3. Install Zap.
  4. Try to run it.
Additional Information

Haven't tried with other architectures besides x86_64, but shouldn't break anything.

Kali Linux is not Ubuntu and you cannot just add our repositories to a distribution and have it become Kali Linux.

Just wanted to note that the container is Debian based (Ubuntu acts as the container host).
And yes, even in that case, I know that Kali is not just adding your repositories to Debian; I just thought that using "uname -r" was a neatest way of finding out the Kernel architecture.

I agree with pachulo but this needs to be reported to the zap's developers, not us.
