Pycrypto - deprecated

[DuckSound0]

Is this project being maintained anymore?

Finally installed Killerbee on my Kali due to enormous amount of error regarding newer/older versions.
Is there any fix for 'pycrypto' as it's not a suitable thing to be used anymore?

I installed python3-dev and pycryptodome instead as per some guides but none of the commands can be run due to it expecting pycrypto.

Solved this by changing setup.py file to use pycryptodome instead of pycrypto, will see if this works but it's not returning error above.

Thank you for reporting, we should definitely move off of unsupported dependencies. I'll try with pycryptodome as well and see if it's that easy of a switch or if there are issues laying in wait

Any updates on this moving to supported versions?

I used pycryptodome the last time I installed this on a new machine and it's worked fine so far, but I haven't tested all the utilities exhaustively.
