[FIX] smbclient.py: not found

[dyngnosis]

[Bug]
SMBClient.py does not exist

[Details]
When selecting SMBClient from "SMB Analysis in Vuln. Identification users get the following error message:

SMB-Client, use help to get some assistance
/bin/sh: smbclient.py: not found

THE FIX:

cd ~/
wget oss.coresecurity.com/repo/Impacket-0.9.6.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf Impacket-0.9.6.0.tar.gz
cd Impacket-0.9.6.0 
python setup.py install

[Notes]
While Impacket is used by a number of existing tools:

root@bt:~# slocate SMBClient.py
root@bt:~# slocate dcom.py
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/impacket/dcerpc/dcom.py
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/impacket/dcerpc/dcom.pyc
/usr/share/python-support/python-impacket/impacket/dcerpc/dcom.py
/pentest/fuzzers/voiper/sulley/impacket/dcerpc/dcom.py
root@bt:~# cd /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/impacket/

...the SMBClient is an 'example' tool and is distrubuted in the /examples/ sub directory. It must have been missed somehow. By re-installing Impacket you get the full distribution. The link from the menu will start working again.

This is actually a bad fix.
You are installing the impacket from sources....what will happen when you want to upgrade ? Keep in minf that backtrack is no longer a static image...The solution would be to repackage the specific tools, and put them in a deb package for updates.

muts,

I suppose there are two fixes to consider.

(1) An inteirm user fix that someone can copy and paste into their terminal to make it work while they wait for BT4-final.iso

(2) A developer fix - a packaged deb file to replace the old buggy one. I can package this up for you quickly if you'd like.

Maybe this is a fix:

apt-get install python-impacket python-impacket-doc python-pcapy

python-pcapy is good to add too.

[dyngnosis]

The root cause of the issue is that the examples (smbclient.py) is not present in the official repository.

As muts was saying -- the proper fix is to fix the repository so that end-users can simple re-install the impacket package from the repo.
