prereq for installation

Issue

dependencies for installation need updating a bit of updating. You also need 'libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev' when building on Kali. These particular requirements come from biplist. Alternative is to do "apt-get install python-biplist"

I'll look into this soon. Thanks for the heads up.

Additionally, nowadays with Kali Linux 2018.3, the installation of mitmproxy needs to be customized/updated.

mitmproxy switched to Python 3, therefore, its installation in Python 2 fails. The last mitmproxy version with Python 2 support was 0.18.2. The current mitmproxy generates errors associated to the Python cryptography module (due to openssl issues):

...
Building wheels for collected packages: cryptography
   Running setup.py bdist_wheel for cryptography ... error
...

Temporary (potentially vulnerable) solution:

Install the last mitmproxy version with Python 2 support, using v1.0 of libssl:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl1.0
$ pip install mitmproxy==0.18.2

The dependencies definitely need an update. It is not possible anymore to install needle on Kali Linux. With which package configuration can i get needle running? which versions of the packages/dependencies are required?
