same problem here. no idea.
also tried to enum smb share and ftp password, but cannot mount smb share.
update:
hey man, how did you run the tool if Python2 & 3.9 are not installed in the victim machine?
hey bud, how did you solve the compatible versions between the decrypt tool and python3.9?
use wget or cURL…
The thing is how could we do it without using the hint?
I’m having the same issue, I did what you’ve done with the username in lowercase and nothing. Anyone else went through this?
after some random attempts one worked. Maybe it had to do with the number of threads being used 
For whoever still struggling mutation for the password and find the login cred for kira to ssh the target and use tool from the section it worked with me after several tries, thanks for the guys!!
Has someone found a way to enumerate the available credentials and passwords without the hint?
nevermind i solved it it just take some time
it not work with lowercase, so i use kira pass , and uppercase and lowercase.
than it worked , with same provided rule
i log in into the ssh server found the passwd.bak then what? wget doesnt work for some reason
i have the same problem, any recommendation???
I know how to respond to the challenge, however I cannot transfer the files from the victim machine to my attack machine. I tried the command to create the share with smbserver.py but it doesn’t work 
I am using HTB instance
PLEASE HELP
I ran into problems running pypykatz - had bunch of python errors. What fixed my issue is that tried dumping the file from windows explorer instead of using powershell. It will give you *.DMP extension. That dump ended up running fine on pypykatz. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you for this! you are a kind and gentle soul - also a great reminder of the mindset required in this field.
Sorry for the necro bump but I’ve been stuck on this challange for 3 days. I was able to locate the password and shadow file for will. I then transferred the password file back to the host machine, can’t transfer tue shadow file.
I located Kira’s ssh files and ran the rsa file through ssh2john and john the ripper but the password received doesn’t seem to work as a sudo password.
At this point I’m just spitballing trying to think of what to try next.
Can anyone help to point me in the right direction please.
ok so as it always happens, after i posted this i ended up figuring out a way to get it.
For anyone who needs a hint… think of a different way to get the firefox_decrypt and lasagna scripts onto the target machine.
I had a longer hint written out but it got amended by mods, I wasn’t sure how helpful I was allowed to be.
.
that’s what im trying right now, wish me luck
I have same problem, I tried too with -t 48 and without -t option, but I received the same error
