Is this an issue that you are having with a BApp extension, or is it one that you've developed yourself?

Hi Hannah This is an issue I am having with an extension I developed myself. Please advise, thank you!

Hi Elijah Jython wont load Python modules with native module components, such as Crypto. You will get the same result as above if you try and load this directly inside a Jython interpreter. I ran into the same issue previously and I used the Java crypto library Bouncy Castle instead to do crypto operations in a Python/Jython Burp extension.
