Taking screenshots with theHarvester -- "no module named 'theHarvester.screenshot'"

[ericsmith881]

Digging into using theHarvester for OSINT data gathering. Been using theHarvester for a while but wanted to experiment with using it to grab screenshots using the '--screenshot' option. Problem is it doesn't appear to have that module installed. I get a "No module named 'theHarvester.screenshot'" error when using this switch. I'm using the latest Kali build on WSL.

I've googled this and searched this forum until I'm blue in the face and can't find any reference to fixing it anywhere. There are no references to it on theHarvester GitHub. I presume it needs a Python module that isn't installed but I have no idea how to resolve. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm using the folllowing command string:

theHarvester -d mydomain.com --screenshot ./mydomain.com -b all

error output is:

No module named 'theHarvester.screenshot'

I ran into this as well using the 4.2.0 pip package. The screenshot dir and module was missing, so I added it in using the module from github and it worked perfectly:

$ ls -ltrha /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/theHarvester/screenshot/
total 16K
