Summary	0008012: sslstrip fails to resolve target website
Description	Hello, I am using the latest package available in Kali (1.0+git20211125.9ac747b-0kali1) and when I run it it gives errors similar to this one in the sslstrip.log file: 2022-10-16 19:09:01,267 Resolving host: www.gmail.com 2022-10-16 19:09:01,267 Host not cached. 2022-10-16 19:09:01,296 Resolved host successfully: www.gmail.com -> 142.250.180.133 2022-10-16 19:09:01,296 Host resolution error: [Failure instance: Traceback: <class 'TypeError'>: argument should be integer or bytes-like object, not 'str' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/_resolver.py:155:deliverResults /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/_resolver.py:269:addressResolved /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:661:callback /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:763:_startRunCallbacks --- <exception caught here> --- /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:857:_runCallbacks /usr/share/sslstrip/sslstrip/ClientRequest.py:94:handleHostResolvedSuccess /usr/share/sslstrip/sslstrip/ClientRequest.py:70:getPathFromUri ] It seems to do this for any host. If you need more information please just ask. Take care, Luca
Steps To Reproduce	I am simply following the instructions in the README.md file.

kali-bugreport 2022-11-06 10:46 reporter ~0017056	Seems this is a known unresolved issue in sslstrip: https://github.com/moxie0/sslstrip/issues/39 sslstrip seems to be generally not compatible with Python3 anymore: https://github.com/moxie0/sslstrip/issues/30 and has been already removed from Debian since quite some time: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=951818

kali-bugreport 2022-11-06 11:59 reporter ~0017057	Looks like Kali switched to a python3 compatible fork available at: https://github.com/L1ghtn1ng/sslstrip Better create a new issue about this error https://github.com/L1ghtn1ng/sslstrip/issues in the hope to get this fixed.
