[BUG] Paramiko for not installing with setup.py

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug For some reason, python does not always install the paramiko fork referenced in setup.py. This causes people to have an argument error when connecting via SSH. To mitigate this, I’ve added a runtime check with inspect as a mitigation until the problem is fixed. The mitigation will tell the user how to fix the problem (which is one simple pip command).

If you have an older version of pwncat and run an ssh connection without the correct paramiko version you will get a message like this:

TypeError: recv() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Attempt to connect to a target with SSH.

Expected behavior A successful connection.
