Issue with installing sslstrip

Issue with installing sslstrip

Opened this issue 4 years ago · 5 comments

Hi,
I am facing some issues while installing the sslstrip
I run the following command:
python setup.py build && python setup.py install
then when i run:
sslstrip -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/sslstrip", line 27, in
from twisted.web import http
ImportError: No module named twisted.web

I have tried installing twisted module using apt-get but unfortunately it is not there anymore
apt-get install python-twisted
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package python-twisted is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-twisted' has no installation candidate

when i install it using pip3 is shows that it is there
pip3 install twisted
Requirement already satisfied: twisted in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (18.9.0)

so please can you guide me for the proper way to install it

adding to what i have posted earlier
i tried installing it using the below command:

pip3 install sslstrip

yet when i run sslstrip command i get the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/sslstrip", line 27, in
from twisted.web import http
ImportError: No module named twisted.web

We removed sslstrip and python-twisted-web from kali because the packages are in Python 2 (EOL).
For sslstrip, there was no upstream change since 2011.

Then now what I should do to install the sslstrip ?
I need the sslstrip

Answer 4 · 2020-11-20T20:09:55.000Z

There's a way to install python2 on Kali2020.3 without breaking anything. I got it working like this:

sudo -i
apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
curl https://pyenv.run | bash

Add following lines to /root/.bashrc
export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

exit
sudo -i
pyenv install 2.7.18
pyenv global 2.7.18
pip install Twisted==18.9.0
pip install service_identity

After this I was able to run sslstrip again. I got some errors in console sometimes but functionality was there.

Oh. Do go back to python3 just remove the lines in .bashrc and start a new shell.
