Summary0000624: BlindElephant is not able to update and the plugin repo is outdated
Description

When you try to update the BlindElephant DB, you get an error that the tar file could not be found. I spoke to the developer and i guess he will fix it, but suggested in the same conversation that I use WhatWeb instead because of the outdated plugins.

Steps To Reproduce

root@root:/# BlindElephant.py -u
Fetching latest DB files from http://blindelephant.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/blindelephant/trunk/src/blindelephant/dbs/?view=tar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/BlindElephant.py", line 48, in <module>
f = tarfile.open(tmp.name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1665, in open
raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully")
tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully

Additional Information

I attached the email conversation with the developer.

We should probably get rid of this software if it's no longer maintained.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
