This error was caused mainly because of you forget to add the full pathname of that file you are trying to extract.

cd /path/to/the/directory/where/tar.gz/file/is/located
sudo tar -zxvf sslstrip-0.9.tar.gz

This will extract the tar.gz file to the same directory where tar.gz file is located.

OR

sudo tar -xzvf /full/path/to/sslstrip-0.9.tar.gz

This will extract tar.gz file to the /home/$USER directory.

How do I install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?
