zbfind tool not working

[lionelmcpint]

Hi again guys,

I'm having trouble getting the zbfind tool working to display the RSSI values of received signals. At the moment I'm using the following setup: OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Zigbee Version: 2.7.2 Hardware: TI CC2531 Python: 2.7.17

The error message recieved is as follows:

root@killerbee-18-04-03:~# zbfind -c 25
Warning: You are using pyUSB 1.x, support is in beta.
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/killerbee-2.7.2-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/zbfind", line 1039, in run
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

I am aware that this issue has been raised previously, however the update was seemingly changing the code to exactly what it is now.

There are no issues running zbdump or zbwireshark (I am currently waiting on delivery of my Sewio OpenSniffer to test the injection tools), I am only having issues with the zbfind tool. My reasons for using an older version of zigbee instead of the development branch is that I encounter nothing but errors when trying to run anything in v3.0.0, regardless of which OS or config I try. My research requires me to record the RSSI measurements of incoming signals, and as far as I can tell the zbfind tool is the only way to record this data.

If anyone can help me either fix zbfind or offer an alternative method of obtaining RSSI this would be greatly appreciated. I have tried as hard as I can to resolve this issue however it is seemingly outwith my skillset.

Thank you, Lionel

Hi please try using the python3 version of the package - this branch addresses a lot of the current issues with cc2531 https://github.com/riverloopsec/killerbee/tree/bugfix/cc2531-assorted
