Rfcat install Kali 2021
Hello there, Can someone tell me if there is an updated install tutorial for just Rfcat. I had to re-install my practice kali box(just learning) and now Rfcat does not work. I followed this https://github.com/atlas0fd00m/rfcat#installing-client .
Thanks just an old Noobie keeping my brain working. Cheers 73s Kev
in the past Kali has included a version of RfCat that didn't work well.
your best bet is to install RfCat from Pypi.
$ python3 -m pip install rfcat
python3 -m pip install rfcat
Hello Atlas , Thank you for your time . I did what you quoted and it looks like its installed (Requirement already satisfied: rfcat in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.0.1) . Its still does not work. Also Rfcrack does not work either. Why does things have to be update :) Thanks again for trying to help me . 73s Kev
what's going on that's causing the failure? what are the signs of failure?

Kev, I've just uninstalled and reinstalled from source and it's working great on Kali on the pi.
My steps were to remove old traces from my previous install sudo pip uninstall rfcat sudo pip3 uninstall rfcat find and remove any bins from rfcat if there are any in /use/local/lib/python... /rfcat sudo git clone https://github.com/atlas0fd00m/rfcat sudo python3 setup.py install
Before doing the commands @pickeditmate suggests, do a sudo apt purge rfcat to get rid of the Kali version. Trun the list of commands @pickeditmate lists.
@atlas0fd00m was being kind when he said the Kali version didn't work well. It has been 100% broken for 2 years in Kali because they tried to convert it from Python 2 to Python 3 and didn't bother doing any tests to verify their changes work. They change lets you start rfcat -r without error, but fails when you try running any commands.
