Q: After downloading emba nothing works if I try to start it.

A: First, run the installer (sudo ./installer.sh)


Q: Do I need administrative privileges for running emba?

A: At least for the emulation mode (switch -E)


Q: I have Ubuntu Linux. Can I install emba on it?

A: We only test emba on Kali Linux. We have heard rumors that emba runs quite good on a plain Ubuntu. So, give it a try.


Q: Is there a timeline for the first stable release?

A: Nope


Q: O my god, you are using bash. What the hell have you done?

A: Yes.


Q: Emba does not detect a lot versions, CVEs and exploits. What can I do?

A: You can include missing version identifiers in the config (config/bin_version_strings.cfg)


Q: Ok, I have included some new versions in the config and now what?

A: As the version identifier strings are all different we have to parse it. Go to the modules directory and check the current parsing in the module F19_cve_aggregator.sh. If you are running into issues open an Issue here


Q: Your code is ugly!

A: It works on my machine!


Q: I found a bug in emba. How can I report it?

A: Great. Fix it yourself or open an Issue here
