Yea, I know its the edgy kid distro, just trying some stuff with it on live USB. I’m not doing this on my Debian install to save time

I’ve been trying to use wifite to pentest my home network but I’m running into an issue. I noticed my iso does not have the packages hcxtools.

Tried installing from terminal but didn’t work and the command from Kali documentation did not work

The error so the following

E: Unable to locate package hcxtools

The command leading to it was

Sudo apt install hcxtools.

What am I doing wrong?

    Will run apt update, just didn’t think to was needed cos it was a new iso.

    I’m not very technical. Not good with terminals

      You’re running a live image, so the list of packages in the external repositories may be blank depending on how Kali does its defaults. Having apt fetch a package list is a very easy first troubleshooting step.
