shouldn’t’ the m2crypto be an i486, not i386?

[rjyoung2000]

found a different file to run, looked like m2crypto installed, then did the install.sh – looked like everything went ok but still get errors running ./empire

Zaid just updated the custom kali image so if you just download it again now from our website it should work.

[rjyoung2000]

I guess i have to just give up on the idea of getting empire to work. I have tried installing new versions of kali and installing several different ways and still get errors. since it is now an outdated program and they are moving to a GUI based program I will wait until they have that working. I will go through the lectures and just watch and learn…

Ok so the 2nd package did not get installed because i386 arch is not added, you wouldn’t face this issue if you’re using the custom 2020 image, so please run the following command first:

dpkg –add-architecture i386

Then install the 2nd package again (the one below)
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-typing/python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb

I also have problems using empire .. I don’t understand the error message .
Everyone seems to be having problems with empire .
Here is an image of the error

[Zaid Sabih]

I remember answering this yesterday but they answer probably didn’t get submitted, sorry for the late response. Anyway it seems like you need to add the i386 architecture so run the following command first
dpkg --add-architecture i386

Then do
apt-get update

Then install the first package above cause it didn’t get installed.
Please show me a screenshot of any errors you get.

[Rocky]

I did exactly but still got same errors. Sadly .

[Zaid Sabih]

Looks like you didn’t have the i386 architecture, so we’ll add it first, then run the following commands to install the 2nd package.

dpkg --add-archedecture i386
apt-get update
cd /root/Downloads
dpkg -i python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb
dpkg -i python-m2crypto_0.31.0-4_i386.deb

[Rocky]

Hello sir, i tried these dpkg -i python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb
dpkg -i python-m2crypto_0.31.0-4_i386.deb
but it said
dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘python-typing_3.6.6-1_all.deb’: No such file or directory

Empire is driving me crazy haha

Hi guys!
Can you try to download a fresh custom kali image provided by Zaid?
I did it last week and Empire was installed succesfully. Also I used the commands suggested by Zaid succesfully.

Let me know how it goes.
Diego

[Akabueze]

Hello guys, I had empire installation issues as of early this week but this empire link I got on gitlab saved the day. I installed it following the instructions and now I have Empire on my Kali Linux.

Please Zaid, can you verify this link for us. Link below:

https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/powershell-empire

I have enjoyed your lectures, it brought me to this level of knowledge. Keep it up.

Thanks.

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Akabueze!

Yes, it looks like it is. I installed it the old fashion way (git clone …) but if this is working then it’s fine. Just check that all the functions work properly.

Let me know how it goes!
Diego
