I am new to using Kali Linux, however when reading other tutorials it seems Metagoofil should have already been installed when installing Kali itself.

I am trying to use the metagoofil command but the error I am getting is:

bash:metagoofil: command not found

When I type command:

locate metagoofil

All results are in the /usr/share/icons directory. There are no files related to Metagoofil in the /usr/bin folder, similarly there is no independent folder metagoofil.

Can any one help with this?

  • Did you install it first? Try apt-get install metagoofil first then retry.

  • Thank you that worked! I was unaware that, that was the method of installing tools on Kali

apt-get install metagoofil didn't find the package on my Kali 2.0 - though I've noticed that several common tools are not found using this method, I think there is an issue with my sources.list file.

Anyway - I got the tool by going to edge-security.com and downloading the .tar.gz file, and just extracting it. When doing so, however, there appeared to be a dependency problem and so I had to download the 'Blackhat' version (also on the site) which worked no problem.

I'm struggling to actually get any results with it, mind, but it works. Apologies if my language isn't quite right - I'm new to Kali / Linux also.

Add this line to your sources.list file at /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali-rolling main non-free contrib 

Then do an apt-get update.

This should work.
