What version of your paramiko package ?

I solved this by installing paramiko to version 2.4.1

Take a look at this commit. f8dc16b

In paramiko since 2.4.2_handler_table is a property object, not dictionary. It changes after fixing paramiko/paramiko#1283 in paramiko/paramiko@56c96a6

Because in this test paramiko used in client mode, I just changed _handler_table to _client_handler_table. Then test works properly.

old_parse_service_accept = paramiko.auth_handler.AuthHandler._client_handler_table[paramiko.common.MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT]
...
paramiko.auth_handler.AuthHandler._client_handler_table[paramiko.common.MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT] = malform_packet
paramiko.auth_handler.AuthHandler._client_handler_table[paramiko.common.MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE] = call_error

I solved this by installing paramiko to version 4.2.1

change it to 2.4.1

I installed paramiko using three commands:

pip.exe install paramiko
pip3.exe install paramiko
pip3.7.exe install paramiko

It installs the latest release 2.7.1 but I still face the same issue:
Error:

Is version2.4.1 required specifically?

Kindly help me. Thanks.

I'm running Python 3.6.8 and Paramiko 2.7.1. The pull request above has not been rolled in, yet.

$ python3 ./sshUsernameEnumExploit.py -h
Traceback (most recent call last):

Make the changes above (see 93607da)

And your script will run:

$ python3 ./sshUsernameEnumExploit.py -h

I used the suggestion of @519seven above (93607da) and installed paramiko 2.12.0 (@harsxv) and fixed the issue. Only doing one of them, didn't solve the problem.
