The process to use git to checkout the source of WebScarab is as follows:

$ git clone git://dawes.za.net/webscarab.git
$ ant build
$ java -jar webscarab.jar

git clone git://dawes.za.net/webscarab.git doesn't seem to work

try:

wget "http://dawes.za.net/gitweb.cgi?p=webscarab.git;a=snapshot;h=b148c63c06ac84ebdee12970929480a068d38422;sf=tgz"

rename file to: webscarab.tar.gz use: tar -xf webscarab.tar.gz

this is taking too long ... zzz

As the main WebScara page mentions, you don't need Git to install WebScara:

A ZIP containing an up to date build of the master branch of the webscarab git tree can be found here.
This file is rebuilt whenever new commits are pushed to the repository, and will always be the most up to date build of WebScarab available.

In short, unless you want to develop/contribute to the code base of WebScara, you don't need Git.

    This is not working at all. The first link doesn't have any zip file, and the second returns 503. If you download the tarbal, there is no jar inside, and you have to built it your self. – Guillermo Nov 12 '12 at 19:46
  • @Guillermo true, yet those are the links still mentioned in https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category%3aOWASP_WebScarab_Project. I will investigate and see if new updated links can be found. – VonC Nov 12 '12 at 19:50

For those that are unfamiliar with git and compiling java code (like myself), webscarab isn't worth the trouble with other tools like Fiddler out there.
