BlackArch Issue

[xXxSpicyBoiiixXx]

Due to the nature of installation on the current wiki, you must have "aardwolf" to be able to have this. You will need to the following prereqs for the system.

sudo pacman -S python python-pip base-devel rust openssl
pip install aardwolf --break-system-packages

This should make the next steps in the wiki documentation doable.

aardwolf is a direct dependency of NetExec and should therefore be installed alongside the other packages. If you have trouble installing aardwolf likely rust is missing. However, we highly discourage installing dependencies directly with pip

For some reason, it wasn't out of the box and I had to do it manually. With that being said, there was other issues such as nxc module that could not be referenced in tool even after downloading the module.

[NeffIsBack]

Both issues hint to an incomplete or broken installation. How did you install NetExec?
Also, what exactly means "after downloading the module"? And what specific issue did you encounter when loading one of the modules?

[xXxSpicyBoiiixXx]

I just installed it with pacman -S netexec and was directed that nxc module was missing so ended up downloading it with pip.

@noraj could you help with this one? Sounds like the dependencies for the pacman package are broken.

[noraj]

I'd take a look at that soon.

The BlackArch Linux package is working fine.

I just installed it with pacman -S netexec and was directed that nxc module was missing so ended up downloading it with pip.

@xXxSpicyBoiiixXx What Linux distribution are you running? From what repository are you installing netexec? What command had you issue with?

[xXxSpicyBoiiixXx]

It's utilizing Arch Linux under the hood, I did try to install this from the pacman command as well as building from source. The issue arises with the nxc module.

[xXxSpicyBoiiixXx]

Just circling back on this, I'm still having this issue weather I try to run this tool in a virtual environment or bare metal.

[NeffIsBack]

Can you give me your version including the commit hash (output of nxc --version)?

[noraj]

@xXxSpicyBoiiixXx You still have not told me from which distribution repository you have installed it? And what is the exact system command you issued to install it?

Hi noraj, I believe the repository was:
https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec

The command executed was:
pipx install git+https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec

This is a fair assumption since these are the steps recommended in the official wiki for NetExec, and it looks like there is a problem indeed when installing it with pipx on Arch Linux with the BlackArch repository added, no issues if you do install directly BlackArch from any of the installation methods recommended. However I saw that there is a closed issue here, reportedly as a solution to the problem he is facing: #350.

In my case, other then the aforementioned solution above, I just had to install "python-aardwolf" and follow the instruction in the official wiki for NetExec.

Ah thanks @autom4il. This went off my radar, but I appreciate the insights.
