Try using python 3. Also, ensure prerequisites are installed via pip as shown in the install instructions.

How can i switch between python versions to run knock🙂 Just a newbie sorry 😐

Use the command python3 rather than python.

well you will get this error because dns.resolver is located probably in "/lib/python3/dist-packages" and while running sublist3er you are using python 2.7 version. You can try "python3 sublist3r.py -d example.com" . If it doesn't work you may have to switch to python version 3 . You can do below to switch : To change a python version you simply create an alias within user's home directory. Open ~/.bashrc file and add new alias to change your default python executable: alias python='/usr/bin/python3.4' Once you make the above change, save the file and re-login or source your .bashrc file: $ . ~/.bashrc

@charlieromeo It did work. But i would request you explain better about that aspect of dns.resolver is located in /lib/python3/dist-packages and how the python 3 and python 2.7 bring that error.

Under linux, use a python3 virtual environment specific to sublist3r. It should be a default action that you do for each and every single Python script.

You will be running the tool within this virtual python environment and not the system wide python installation. All python commands you run once the virtual environment is activated are specific to the virtual environment. Changes you make to a virtual environment, including installing dependencies only affect the virtual environment and do not affect the system wide installation of Python which usually ends up breaking python.

Assuming you are going to keep your python virtual environments in a directory called environments under your home directory, please proceed as follows:

1- $ python3 -m venv ~/environments/sublist3r      // create a python version 3 virtual environment for sublist3r
2- $ source ~/environments/sublist3r/bin/activate  // activate sublist3r python environment. 
3- $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip              // update pip inside virtual env.
4- $ cd ~/sublist3r/                                         // switch to your sublist3r folder.
5- $ pip install -r requirements.txt                    // install sublist3r script dependencies.
6- $ python sublist3r.py -d domain.com               // run sublist3r.py from within activated environment
7- $ deactivate                                            // deactivate environment once done the script run.

note: do not use sudo.
