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?

    I haven’t used Kali Linux before, but hcxtools is available in the Debian repos so presumably your /etc/apt/sources.list is invalid (probably the LiveUSB has disabled non-iso sources). Can you post what is in that file?

    Edit: Actually it looks like Kali uses a single line for its repo. Can you add

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

    to your /etc/apt/sources.list, run an apt update and try again?
