| Summary | 0005474: bdfproxy - can't run | ||||
| Description | ``` g0tmi1k@kali-dev:~$ bdfproxy Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/bdfproxy", line 31, in <module> from bdfactory import pebin ImportError: No module named bdfactory g0tmi1k@kali-dev:~$ ``` Fresh Kali 2019.2, using a normal (non root) user | ||||

The missing module bdfactory is now available in Python 3 only. bdfproxy is only Python 2 and it's not maintained anymore by upstream. Update bdfproxy for Python 3 is not simple, because Python 2 and Python 3 handle byte strings and Unicode differently. Do we want to spend a lot of time fixing bdfproxy? This tool is broken since december 2018 (when backdoor-factory started using Python3) and we didn't get any bug report as far as I know. |
