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?

    You need to run sudo apt update before trying to install things. Notice that you’ll need to do this every time unless you installed Kali with some permanent storage. Which is why it’s usually a better idea to just use your day-to-day Linux box for stuff, Kali is for when you want to not leave traces and not allow any backtrack to get to your actual system, for most non red team related stuff you don’t need Kali.
