could you give it a try https://github.com/m-1-k-3/emba/tree/echo_if20

[torabi12]

I used this URL:
https://github.com/m-1-k-3/emba.git

but I got the same stop. Or may I try something else? :(

I just wanted to say that I was not sure I tried your request. If I made something wrong please let me know. Thank you.

Please use the branch echo_if20:

git clone --branch echo_if20 https://github.com/m-1-k-3/emba.git

Thank you. Unfortunatelly I got the same:

[m-1-k-3]

is it not checking nr 23?

[torabi12]

Both files are downloaded but the installer stops after 18.04.29_amd64.dep package:

very interesting ... I need to check this

Currently I am not able to reproduce this issue:

Pff, I got a bigger SSD a few days before and I wanted to install a brand new Kali 2023.3 with latest updates and an actual emba. On my side it stops for sure:(

install.log

[m-1-k-3]

your new SSD goes brrrrm ;)

please check my dev branch again.

[torabi12]

Sorry but it stopped again at the same point.

I took the Kali ISO for VMware, I just extended the default 80GB to a bigger one with gparted.
I created an own user, which belongs to the sudo group as well. Chenged the default hostname and ZSH to bash and my timezone:

and I updated the system:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt purge openvas-scanner
$ sudo apt purge crackmapexec
$ sudo apt upgrade -y
$ sudo apt install ssh numlockx mc htop -y

and started the emba installation.

Sorry for this, maybe I made a mistake somewhere, but I don't know what did I wrongly:)
SSH is enabled, but I think no other major modification on the VM. Maybe IPv6 is also disabled, but it shouldn't affect this.

I forgot to show the testing part:

But a few lines above:

The external folder contains only these:

can you try to download the libssl deb files manually with wget and check them with the file command?
So, please do something like

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23_amd64.deb -O external/libssl.deb
file external/libssl.deb

Thank you

The manual download works fine:

The installer downloads with HTTP 200, but the file is not there. I'm going crazy. :)
I checked the roles of the user:

$ groups seclab                                                                                                                                                                                                       
seclab : seclab sudo

┌──(seclab㉿emba)-[~/emba]
└─$ id seclab                                                                                                                                                                                                           
uid=1001(seclab) gid=1001(seclab) groups=1001(seclab),27(sudo)

I think it is the same as before.

If I use sudo wget URL -O external/libssl.deb

the file comes with root ownership:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1302640 May 30 16:23 libssl.deb

pls try the dev branch again ...

[torabi12]

I went back to clean snapshot and used this:
$ git clone --branch echo_if20 https://github.com/m-1-k-3/emba.git

This is on the screen right now:

[m-1-k-3]

Sorry but I don't see enough details on this screenshot. I need the whole libssl process till the stop

What was wrong? What did I wrongly?
Thank you very much!

[m-1-k-3]

great ... the new file version has changed the output of the debian package:

file v5.45:

Debian binary package (format 2.0), with control.tar.xz , data compression xz

file < v5.45:

Debian binary package (format 2.0), with control.tar.xz, data compression xz
