sslstrip problem?

[freeski201]

I am having a problem getting sslstrip command to work in backtrack 5.

I get this. I go into the directory and get the same thing.

root@bt:~# sslstrip
sslstrip: command not found

root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# sslstrip -a -k
sslstrip: command not found

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

You have to install and setup sslstrip. See this thread.

I had the same problem. But easy to fix

sslstrip guess it's not in the global variables so you have to go directly to the path. I don't remember exactly but go to information gathering > ssl > sslstrip and that will open you a console with the exact path where sslstrip is.

then use ./sslstrip to use it

Two easy quick fixes. Either one should work
1.

root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# python sslstrip -a -k

2.

root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# chmod +x sslstrip
root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# python sslstrip -a -k

How is your first "fix" that does nothing but try to run the command (the same way the OP said they tried to run it) going to "fix" anything?

Sorry I should have taken the time to explain why the two methods should work.

The first method should work because when typing "python" before the command the program will be executed by the python runtime environment. You would need to type this everytime.

The second fix is better because is makes the file executable. Then the first line of the script will which is

#!/usr/bin/env python

will cause the script to be run by python. This method would only need to be run once.

I also noticed a mistake with my original post. In the second method you would not need to type "python" before the command. So it should look like this

root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# chmod +x sslstrip.py
root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip#./sslstrip.py -a -k

Sorry for the confusion.

The above did not work for me.
Running using Python did work but it's just wrong.
Just do the following:
cd /pentest/web/sslstrip
python setup.py install

Now you can run from anywhere as usual.

Hi,

BT People, please fix this strange issue.

You can use sslstrip by typing the following in your terminal:

$ cd /pentest/web/sslstrip

Then you need to execute it via:

$ python sslstrip.py

Example:

$ python sslstrip.py -h

Good Luck!

You can work around the issue by adding the following to $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bashrc (I forget which and don't have a BT machine to try on right now).

alias sslstrip='python /pentest/web/sslstip/sslstrip.py'

Or you could just run that command in your terminal window (though it will then only be good for that terminal session).
