Repeated failed installs for ubertooth on Kali

[Crypto-Cowboy]

Can anyone refer me to a current tutorial or working steps? I have tried every step by step tutorial I could find , I copied and pasted all commands. I am new to Kali and linux any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you. I assumed Kali would be ideal for Ubertooth, but it turned out that just installing and running through the steps on Ubuntu I had significantly less issues.

I have also been trying unsuccessfully to install under Kali - but here are some things I have found.

The Build Guide for Release 2018-12-R1, found here:

https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/wiki/Build-Guide

does not work - specifically the command to install all these packages:

sudo apt-get install cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev make gcc g++ libbluetooth-dev pkg-config libpcap-dev python-numpy python-pyside python-qt4

Several of these packages have been updated, so will not install.

I had to download and install cmake from here: https://cmake.org/install/

Running:

dpkg -l 'pkgname*' yields available packages for your platform. That's a dash lowercase 'L' after dpkg, and enclose your search criteria within single quotes. I used the asterisk as a wildcard to yield all possible name variants - then selected the latest. for example:

libusb is libusb-0.1-4

libpcap-dev is actually libpcap0.8

The others seem fine.

This *should get you to the point of installing the libbtbb libraries.

I'm seeing issues with references to pkg-config when I try to compile Ubertooth tools, so I'll be opening a new issue report.

Hope this helps you.

dpkg -l lists the currently installed packaged, for available packages use apt search or apt-get search.

I'm not sure which version of Kali you are using, but everything except python-pyside and python-qt4 should certainly be available from the apt repositories.

This will be fixed when #383 is fixed.
