Installation issues running fatrat

Unable to install Mingw32 or mingw-w64

  • 90% of the times this error happens because mingw was not correctly installed before in user desktop . The best way to solve this issue is to completly remove mingw32 from system , clean any file directly to mingw32 and execute an installation fix on your linux , so the symplinks and any other dependencies connected to mingw package could be erased .
  • For mingw32 as root user :
  • apt-get remove --purge mingw32 -y && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get install -f -y
  • For mingw-w64 as root user :
  • apt-get remove --purge mingw-w64 -y && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get install -f -y

After this point and when finished , all the remains of your faulty mingw installation are already removed .

After this point , execute ./setup.sh on fatrat folder , so mingw packages could be correctly installed in your linux from the Kali repositories .

  • If you recently installed fatrat then you probably will have an issue with powerstager with error I/O when it tries to write the backdoor output file , to solve that issue you must add debian jessie repositories to your file /etc/apt/sources.list and deisable any new repository there , then uninstall and remove your current mingw instalation and run setup.sh from fatrat again .

Install mingw 4.9.1 version from Debian Repository required for Powerstager

1st - add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main

2nd - remove all your mingw versions , write this in your terminal

apt-get remove --purge *mingw* -y && apt-get autoremove -y

3rd - update your repositories and install mingw from jessie

apt-get update && apt-get install -t jessie *mingw* -f -y

Manual install in parrot

go to https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/mingw32 and download the package at the bottom of the page. When it downloads, right click it and click Open with GDebi Package Installer, then install it. Do the same for https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/mingw32-binutils

then run ./setup.py again. FatRat will install in Parrot.

This procedure is the same for all other packages that may give an error on output as (Not OK) , except these ones :

  • dx (from android sdk)
  • aapt (from android sdk)
  • apktool
  • these packages come in fatrat instalation folder . #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

It is advised to have in your sources list the repository for your linux distribution , best way to check it is :

on your terminal : (cat /etc/apt/sources.list)

if everyline in this file have an (#) behind , then it means that is not activated .

The solution is to search on your official linux distribution the repository links and add them in sources.list . You can use any text editor , if you are familiarized with nano editor , then run (nano /etc/apt/sources.list) and paste the links from your linux distribution from official website in that file , and save it . After that point , just do (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) to upgrade your linux .
