Getting Started

Prerequisites

You'll need to have Python installed in order to run pwnage.py. Start by downloading and installing the latest version of Python 3.

Note: pwnage.py has not been tested with Python 2 and will probably not work without changing some things.

After Python is installed, install the Requests library.

pip install requests

Installing
