Moved From Blog: SSL Module Error

[Raj]

Hi All, 

I have been having trouble installing Mallory on my virtual machine. I have downloaded all the dependencies but when i tried to run Mallory, I was presented with this error message: 

Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "./mallory/src/mallory.py", line 75, in <module> 
import ssl 
ImportError: No module named ssl 

Hope someone can guide me as to what i should do to fix this problem... 

Thanks in advance!

We have found that installing all of the Python modules at once may cause some errors down the road. I would recommend re-installing all of the dependencies one at a time. If this does not correct the issue try installing the python openssl modules. Below are the commands to getting these modules installed. 

sudo apt-get install mercurial; sudo apt-get install python-pyasn1; sudo apt-get install python-netfilter; sudo apt-get install libnetfilter-conntrack-dev; sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev; sudo apt-get install python-setuptools; sudo easy_install pynetfilter_conntrack; sudo apt-get install netfilter-extensions-source; sudo apt-get install libnetfilter-conntrack3-dbg; sudo apt-get install python-paramiko; sudo apt-get install python-imaging;

also try:

sudo apt-get install python-openssl

Hi Raj,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I've tried re-installing the dependencies and python-openssl packages but I still get the same message.

I am trying to build Mallory on my Debian Linux. Could this be the cause of the failure?

The following is how I performed my setup (one at a time):

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team

python-software-properties is already the newest version.

python-software-properties set to manually installed.

managed to remove the ssl error after manually installing openssl package from the openssl website.
