The github site you show for Empire says it is no longer supported. i cloned it anyway, ran the install but when i type ./empire i get an error that dont make any sense. there was a second git for empire-gui but not sure how to install this – looks complex..help!

[Zaid Sabih]

Yep that’s right, but it still works, the creators are just not supporting it anymore.
Did you run the installer first as shown in the course?
If yes did it give you any errors?
And can I see a screenshot of the error you’re getting now?

[rjyoung2000]

I did run the installer as directed in the class and there were no errors during the install. I don’t see how to add a screenshot here (it was easier using your classes on Udemy!)
From what I see it looks like something is screwy in the code?
Here’s what I get when I enter ./empire

File “./empire”, line 35
print ‘[*] Fresh start in docker, running reset.sh for you’

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to ‘print’. Did you mean print(‘[*] Fresh start in docker, running reset.sh for you’)?

Which version of Kali are you using?
And you can just upload screenshots using any file upload service like

Kali Linux 2020.2

here is the screenshot – again looks like the code itself got messed up?

Can you try using the custom kali image that zaid made to be used in this course?

[rjyoung2000]

I installed empire in the kali image and now get an error saying there is no module M2Crypto. I found M2Crypto on GitHub and cloned it into the /opt but still when I run empire I get errors…..it wasn’t clear how to install M2Crypto

here is the screenshot — https://ibb.co/b5gj8xF

[Vashisht Boodhun]

Please update the repo, then install the M2Crypto Python module:

apt-get update

pip install M2Crypto

[rjyoung2000]

won’t install M2Crypto using pip. got errors during install saying it couldn’t build m2crypto wheel?

Make sure that your sources are correct, so do

leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

Remove everything and past the following lines:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Save and quit then do

apt-get update
apt-get install pip
apt-get update –fix-missing
apt autoremove

Please don’t hesitate to contact if you need anything else.

[rjyoung2000]

followed your advice – didn’t do anything. Empire still not working M2Crypto still an issue….

[Vashisht Boodhun]

Did you try installing m2crypto again after my last advice?

[rjyoung2000]

YEP TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, INSTALL, UNINSTALL, INSTALL IN DIFFERENT KALI IMAGE. STILL EMPIRE DOESNT WORK.

[Zaid Sabih]

Sorry you’re struggling with this, please just make sure you have the latest custom Kali 2020, run the installer as shown in the course, and then lets install the following libraries manually:

1. Download the needed packages from the following links

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/m2crypto/python-m2crypto_0.31.0-4_i386.deb

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-typing/python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb

2. Navigate to the location where they are downloaded (probably downloads).

cd Downloads

3. Install the downloaded packages in the following order

dpkg -i python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb

dpkg -i python-m2crypto_0.31.0-4_i386.deb

I just tried this myself and it worked on the custom Kali 2020.

[rjyoung2000]

still problems! getting an error running the second file…..
