Python Netifaces Install

[DramaKing]

I'm trying to install the python module netifaces to get Responder working, but there's no ipk package available and pip keeps failing.

First thing to try is to install gcc since the verbose output of the netifaces installation (pip3 install netifaces -vvv) complains about not finding gcc

opkg update
opkg install gcc

Thanks for the tip, but I already installed gcc to try cloning the repo and running the setup script.

OK, there are other things you can try. I have netifaces running/working on my Mark VII.

Try updating already existing pip components (including pip itself):

pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install --upgrade wheel
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
or
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

python3-dev might be needed:

opkg update
opkg install python3-dev

 

[DramaKing]

Updated setuptools. Still failed. Ran opkg update another time. It then found and installed python3-dev, and I succesfully installed netifaces.

Responder is now working, although it's not intercepting any SMB connections. I'll continue tinkering with it.

What interface are you using when running Responder?
