Popular open-source tool Sparta is no longer available in Kali Linux because of unsupported Python version. Tools depending on Python 2.x were removed.
Figure 1. Sparta is removed from Kali Linux, since version 2019.4
However, one very similar tool exists there, and is still actively developed. It is called LEGION and it’s a fork of SECFORCE’s Sparta. LEGION is an open-source, easy-to-use, super-extensible and semi-automated network penetration testing framework that aids in discovery, reconnaissance and exploitation of information systems. Code was refactored from Python 2.7 to Python 3.6 and the deprecated and unmaintained libraries were eliminated.
Figure 2 LEGION demo, adding hosts and quick overview
To install LEGION, type this command in command line:
apt install legion -y
If you prefer traditional method of installation type these commands:
git clone https://github.com/GoVanguard/legion.git cd legion sudo chmod +x startLegion.sh sudo ./startLegion.sh
With this guide you should be able to successfully install and run LEGION.
