I downloaded this tool from GitHub: GitHub - Ganapati/RsaCtfTool: RSA attack tool (mainly for ctf) - retreive private key from weak public key and/or uncipher data,
but I don’t know how I am supposed to run this program.

How did you download the tool?

Where have you downloaded it to?

I assume you used the “Download Zip” command on the github website. If
so, you will have the source code to the project, but probably not the
dependencies.

Do this:

  • unzip the zip file to a source directory;

  • look inside the source directory;

  • you will see a file called “RsaCtfTool.py”.

You can run that like any other Python file:

python3 path/to/source/RsaCtfTool.py

This will not work (probably). You will almost certainly get an
error, probably an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError saying that a file
is not found.

  • Read the “requirements.txt” and “optional_requirements.txt” files.

  • And install each of those requirements.

Supposedly the easiest way to do that will be to use pip. Do you need
help with using pip to install libraries?

Once you have all those libraries installed you can go back to running
the RsaCtfTool.py file.

If you get other issues, different from the ImportError or
ModuleNotFoundError that you expect, please copy and paste the full
traceback and error message, and we’ll see if we can help diagnose the
fault.
