module import error

[vck]

hey there,
when i run the framework.py it says

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "framework.py", line 7, in <module>
    from src.core import *
ImportError: No module named src.core

instead using from src.core import * why don't you just use from core import * ?
after change the import section into from core import * it's runs like what i thought

[trustedsec]

Not sure why that would be an issue, did you check out PTF from github? On a fresh install it works fine since we are doing a direct relative import from the src folder and core directory. Everything works fine from a fresh install - not sure what you would be experiencing there as traditional import is supported in both python 2.7 and 3.

Changing import to from core import * wouldn't be a valid import as it doesn't know where core is located for the import. Not sure how or why that would work on your system...

Closing this issue as I cannot reproduce on Ubuntu, Kali, or Debian test beds.

yes, i've clone the repo, into my dev dir,
i'm currently using python 2.7.x, and the interpreter seemed to be bad for my system,
i am a native Python coder, and i know how to use the intepreter, especially in *nix like environment, but your codes doesn't has a good interpreter, i'm so sorry, but why are you using #!/usr/local/python instead of #!/usr/bin/env/python?

well,

bash: ./ptf: /usr/local/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

and after change the interpreter into #!/usr/bin/python it's works pretty well

[trustedsec]

Git pull the latest repo, this was fixed already.

[vck]

OK

[trustedsec]

framework.py is a library - you should just be running ./ptf or python ptf. Not directly running the core modules independently. This is a hierarchy structure for coding.

[vck]

yeah, i know it.
uhmm, after tested your tool, i realized that some function requires root previllage,

like errors bellow:

[*] Tool not installed yet, will run through install routine
[*] Preparing dependencies for module: modules/intelligence-gathering/recon-ng
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[*] Pre-reqs for modules/intelligence-gathering/recon-ng have been installed.
[*] Making the appropriate directory structure first
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/pentest’: Permission denied
[*] GIT was the selected method for installation... Using GIT to install.
fatal: could not create leading directories of '/pentest/intelligence-gathering/recon-ng': Permission denied

some users may not concern about it, how about they didn't use Kali? like Ubuntu/Debian, not all users log in to their system with root user defaulty. compared to Kali users, i think you need to
add some warning to it (the ptf),

like :

if os.getuid() != 0:
    print "[!] Previllage access needed!! \n[!] Must run as root!!!"
    sys.exit()

[trustedsec]

I would agree with you, having a root check is a great idea. Something I added into SET but didn't into here. Will add that now and appreciate it!

and, like what Metasploit does, the ptf should be able to run some shell command, like ifconfig,whoami, etc, it would be nicer if you add this capability to the ptf
