Je rencontre egalement ce même problème!
Je pense que le problème est venu après la mise à jour du système et après avoir exécuté apt-get autorenouvelable.
Je pense que nous devons le désinstaller et le réinstaller pour voir

i too have this issue in kali 2020.1 i really wish i could find the solution for the issue. i've tested it across at least 2 different installs with the same result. i'm going to do a fresh VM install on monday with the latest ISO to see if i can recreate it a 3rd time.

[wdmarauder]

just playing around with another VM i had that was an older version i did a couple of updates for testing. if i do just a standard apt-get upgrade the site cloner doesn't give me the above error but when i browse to the cloned site there are many errors output in kali and the page doesn't load (on the victim machine).

if i do apt-get full-upgrade then i get the same above error as i do on 3 different installs.

[wdmarauder]

the version i have on all of them when experiencing the error is:

Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
Release: 2020.1
Codename: kali-rolling

i solved it.

if you go to the main page on here for SET and download the files, extract and then copy them into the /usr/share/set directory it should resolve the issue.

In order to find the error, the best way is to go to the same directory where you have it installed, and open the "setoolkit" file with your favorite text editor, go to the final of the file, and comment the "except Exception as error" in order to let you get the root cause. You must have the "setoolkit" file like this:

# handle exceptions
#except Exception as error:
#    core.log(error)
#    print("\n\n[!] Something went wrong, printing the error: " + str(error))

So, then, if you launch again the toolkit, you will see the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setoolkit", line 245, in <module>
    import src.core.set
  File "/opt/tools/other/set/src/core/set.py", line 606, in <module>
    import harvester
  File "/opt/tools/other/set/src/webattack/harvester/harvester.py", line 57, in <module>
    filewrite = file("%s/src/logs/harvester.log" % (os.getcwd()), "w")
NameError: name 'file' is not defined

And here, you could see that the problem is when setoolkit tries to open for writing the file "%s/src/logs/harvester.log" and it does not exist, so... you just need to execute the following:

$ cd /path/of/your/set/installation
$ touch src/logs/harvester.log

Fixed in 8.0.2

Hi mate, that's also my problem but I solved it through having the root privileges.
You should log in into your root account (the administrator one), then there you can edit freely the directories of /usr with copy and paste in ease.
hope it helped.
