fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory (misconfigured KALI distribution) about hcxtools HOT 9 CLOSED

The issue you are facing seems to stem from a problem with your internet connection. Try resetting your internet connection and then ping google.com to see if your DNS is working properly. From there, you can proceed with installing the required packages. Please read this article from askubuntu for more information.

First of all, I'm going to close this report, because all problems are related to KALI.
This is an issue tracker and it is not a bug in hcxtools.

But to point you into the right direction:
According to README.md the requirements of hcxtools are:
* libopenssl (>= 3.0) and openssl-dev installed
Your KALI version is misconfigured and it tries to get an old version (1.1.1g) of libssl:
Err:6 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 libssl-dev amd64 1.1.1g-1
According to KALI package tracker its actual version is 3.1.4-2:
https://pkg.kali.org/news/568234/openssl-314-2-imported-into-kali-rolling/
Check your sources .list to figure out why KALI is not up to date.

BTW:
KALI is absolutely not a distribution to be used by a beginner, because you're running into several problems like you mentioned above:

Your KALI installation is completely broken.

Please comment output of uname -r

from hcxtools.

That is a really old version and the kernel is no longer under maintenance:

According to KALI history:
https://www.kali.org/releases/
your version is outdated since 2020:
