Installing 2FAuth on Kali Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install 2FAuth which is from https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth on Kali Linux latest version.

2FAuth is a simple Python program that generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) that can be used for two-factor authentication.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following prerequisites:

• Kali Linux latest version
• Python 2.x or 3.x
• Git

Step 1: Clone the repository

Open your terminal and clone the 2FAuth repository from GitHub. Run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth.git

This will download the repository to your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Navigate into the directory using the command:

$ cd 2FAuth

Inside the directory, you'll find a file called requirements.txt. This file contains all the required dependencies for 2FAuth. To install them, run the following command:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the required dependencies.

Step 3: Run the Program

After installing the dependencies, run the following command to start the program:

$ python 2fauth.py

This will launch the program and you can start generating TOTP codes.

Step 4: Bonus

If you want to integrate 2FAuth with other applications, you can use the 2fa.py library. This library can be imported into your Python scripts to generate TOTP codes.

To use this library, you need to install the package first. Run the following command:

$ python setup.py install

This command will install the 2FAuth package, which includes the 2fa.py library.

Now, you can import the library in your Python script and start generating TOTP codes:

from twofa import totp_generate

secret_key = "your_secret_key_here"

totp_code = totp_generate(secret_key)

print(totp_code)

You can replace your_secret_key_here with your actual secret key to generate the TOTP code.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed 2FAuth on Kali Linux latest version. You can now use this program to generate TOTP codes for two-factor authentication.
