Hi guys!

Currently reading your great book and setuping the lab. I am having issues installing pwncat-cs. Especially after a dist-upgrade. Tried to install with a python virtual environment, to no avail. Do you have any hints, a new install procedure or another similar tool to use?

Thank you very much!

Can you share what error are you seeing?

This is the message I get when trying to install after a dist-upgrade.
After_distro_install

These are the messages after a pipx install that showed no errors during install. I also get these same messages after doing a "pip3 install pwncat-cs --break-system-packages"
after_distro_install_with_pipx

Without a dist-upgrade I get these incompatibility messages. However, I can still launch the tool. Not sure if everything will work, but at least I can launch it.

If the tool itself is working and the exercises work ok, then it should be fine.

Alright! I'll let you know if I run into issues when I get to the pwncat-cs exercises. Thanks for your time!

FYI

@Dougoll @dolevf I had to follow instructions from calebstewart/pwncat#289 to overcome the installation issue.

Hello all,

I had a similar issue and the instructions provided by calebstewart/pwncat#289 (comment) worked really well in Kali:

  • clone the pwncat-cs git repo and modify the pyproject.toml file [tool.poetry.dependencies]
  • pipx install /path/to/pwncat/cloned/git/dir
