Details

Description:

kirbi2john doesn't currently work b/c the interpreter is set to "/usr/bin/env python" instead of "/usr/bin/env python2". This likely applies to many other scripts.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

What's the error?
Comment by Miles Whittaker (mjwhitta) - Tuesday, 01 October 2019, 17:47 GMT
The error is that python points to python3 and NOT python2, but kirbi2john (and it looks like 70+ others) are written in python2.
Comment by Miles Whittaker (mjwhitta) - Tuesday, 01 October 2019, 17:50 GMT
I fixed with a simple sed command: sudo sed -i -r "s/#\!.+python.?$/#\!\/usr\/bin\/env python2/g" /usr/lib/john/*.py

That is not an error message.
Comment by Miles Whittaker (mjwhitta) - Tuesday, 01 October 2019, 18:40 GMT
kirbi2john doesn't throw any errors. It silently fails. This should likely be fixed upstream, but sed could be a workaround until it's fixed. Otherwise, portions of this package are unusable.
