Dev

With Virtualenv (Recommended)

Call it venv really important!

Linux

$ virtualenv venv -p $(which python3.9) --always-copy
$ source venv/bin/activate

You will also need to give special permission to use scapy newtorks feature.

$ setcap cap_net_raw=eip venv/bin/python

And install python dependecies.

$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Windows

$ virtualenv venv
$ .\venv\Script\activate

For windows you will need Npcap : https://nmap.org/npcap/

And install python dependecies.

$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Build

Windows

Windows use (PyInstaller)[http://www.pyinstaller.org/] to build the Airbnb Camera Scanner.

$ pip install pyinstaller

Build command:

$ pyinstaller airbnb-scanner.spec

The working executable is in the dist folder and called AirbnbScanner.exe.

You can now create an installer for Windows. You will need to install NSIS software : https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download In your favorite PowerShell terminal :

$ $tag = "v0.0.0"
$ $size = [math]::floor((Get-ChildItem dist\ -Recurse | Measure-Object -Sum Length | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum)/1000)
$ $major, $minor, $build = $tag.substring(1).split(".")
$ & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Bin\makensis.exe' /DTAG=$tag /DSIZE=$size /DMAJOR=$major /DMINOR=$minor /DBUILD=$build zeronetbrowser.nsi

Linux

!!!Important!!! We stick pyqtdeploy 2.5.1 and wil upgrade to 3.1 later. Still having some issue.

Linux use (PyQtDeploy)[https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/pyqtdeploy/] to build the Airbnb Camera Scanner.

$ pip install pyqtdeploy==2.5.1
$ make patches

This version need to be patches to succefully build the project.

Download the sources files to be compiled.

$ make download

Create sysroot folder.

$ make init

Build.

$ make build

Notes

Scapy root privileges needed

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20763039/creating-raw-socket-in-python-without-root-privileges

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36215201/python-scapy-sniff-without-root

$ setcap cap_net_raw=eip venv/bin/python

But also we need $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to match the user folder so no root to see the tray icon.

Packaging with pyqtdeploy

You will probably need all this dependencies (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html).

Error :

_ctypes.c:107:10: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory

Answer :

sudo apt install libffi-dev

---

Release

It takes too long to build in CI. Instead builds are being done locally on my computer (maybe for the best).

make build

Using semver standard.

---

Linux libcrypto

Requires libssl1.1 for the latest version.

pip install error

Error

AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel'

Solution: update pip to version 22 pip install --upgrade pip

[Windows] Install npcap

Error:

RuntimeError: Sniffing and sending packets is not available at layer 2: winpcap is not installed. You may use conf.L3socket orconf.L3socket6 to access layer 3
