Installing NetExec with pipx 🎷

Using pipx to install NetExec is recommended. This allows you to use NetExec and the nxcdb system-wide.

sudo apt install pipx git
pipx ensurepath
pipx install git+https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec

Open a new shell and you are ready to go:

NetExec
nxcdb

Installation for Kali 🐲

apt update
apt install netexec

Installation for development using Poetry 📯

You're going to need to install Poetry which is what nxc uses to manage dependencies. To install poetry you should use pipx, because our dynamic-versioning plugin will likely crash otherwise.

apt install pipx git
pipx ensurepath
pipx install poetry
poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]"
poetry dynamic-versioning enable

Now that poetry is set, up and we can download the NetExec repository and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec
cd NetExec
poetry install
poetry run NetExec

Installing NetExec with pip ⛔

Using pipx over pip is recommended

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec
cd NetExec
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip install .
NetExec

Binaries

We recommend installing via pipx/pip, but if you want to use a pre-compiled binary, go to the Releases and download the appropriate binary.
