Installed on Kali machine. After fresh kali installations the program works just fine, but after a full-upgrade of the OS, probequest stops working with the following error

Exception in thread Thread-2:

I had similar problems with bettercap when the program was trying to set the wifi adapter in monitor mode, and the problem was there with the library "libpcap0.80" which is updated in version 1.10 lately.

We tried installing the previous version 1.9.1 and both applications now work perfectly.

I am also addressing the issue here, in order to help anybody else experiencing the same problems.
Not really a bug of the program but of the libraries it seems to make use of.

Downgrade the libpcap version to 1.9.1 and it will work again. I personally marked the package not to be upgraded by apt until it gets fixed.

Ok.
Thanks :)

Are you sure that you provided the right syntax?
Sudo probequest -i wlan0mon

Presumably that you have set the wlan0 interface to monitor mode

Yep i provided right syntaxt but i can do it to show better:

Nope. Your syntax is not right. After you start airmon-ng on wlan0 then interface is named wlan0mon. Check it with a simple ifconfig. So the right syntax is as I wrote to you earlier
Sudo probequest -i wlan0mon

My monitor mode is different, gives a wlan0 to use on monitor mode. But thanks i make it work, i reinstall kali linux and tryed again and voilá it worked ;) so happy. Anyway thank you so much to downgrade libpcap!

Same problem here. Kali 2021.1.
Downgrading libpcap using commands below does not help.

wget http://old.kali.org/kali/pool/main/libp/libpcap/libpcap0.8_1.9.1-4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libpcap0.8_1.9.1-4_amd64.deb

The issue seems to have been fixed upstream a while ago: the-tcpdump-group/libpcap#989
