Hello,

You are using crackmapexec with python2.7 which is not supported anymore by cme. Try with python3

apt-get install -y libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev build-essential
git clone --recursive https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec
cd CrackMapExec
python3 setup.py install

Hi,

thank you for your response. i tried your commands and got the following error message:

Installed /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/crackmapexec-5.0.0.dev0-py3.8.egg Processing dependencies for crackmapexec==5.0.0.dev0 Searching for pylnk3>=0.3 Reading https://pypi.org/simple/pylnk3/ Download error on https://pypi.org/simple/pylnk3/: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108) -- Some packages may not be found! Couldn't retrieve index page for 'pylnk3' Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading https://pypi.org/simple/ Download error on https://pypi.org/simple/: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108) -- Some packages may not be found! No local packages or working download links found for pylnk3>=0.3 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pylnk3>=0.3')

also i tried to install pylnk3 from github, but it did not resolve the issue and i get the same error message.

any other ideas? :)

Closing since this isn't related to CME anymore. Also i would reccomend using the binaries now. Check them out in the actions tab (I'll be updating the docs shortly).

Cheers

To install crackmapexec: sudo git clone https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec cd CrackMapExec pip3 install -r requirements.txt sudo apt install crackmapexec -y

Note: You can remove the folder crackmapexec after running requirements.txt (this is important before you install crackmapexec) This will not get you any above traceback errors,

This works 100%
