Troubleshooting

if you get a "permission denied" error, try running the tool with sudo
if the tool doesn't recognize Nmap, ensure it is installed and available in your path.
most importantly, this error "No module named scapy" you'll often experience this error.

Solution

Run this code on your command-line to install the right scapy.all on your Ubuntu Linux machine: sudo apt-get install python3-scapy 4. lastly,please I'll recommend you update your Ubuntu from wls1 to wls2.

Steps to update your ubuntu from wls1 to wls2 on Windows(Recommended if you're running wls1 on your Linux machine)

On your Windows, open the powershell terminal as an adminstrator
when done, like wls after which you'll logged in as the root-user just like on your Linux operating system.
run this command: `wsl --set-version ubuntu 2 in Powershell.

this command sets the WSL version for your ubuntu distribution from the windows side. Make sure to run PowerShell as an administrator for the command to work.

Uninstallation instructions

Deactivate the virtual environemnt(if activated):

$ deactivate

Remove the cloned directory: $ rm -rf VulnSniff
