Hi @kalifan

Try cloning the latest version from GitHub.

[kalifan]

ok, trying with this https://github.com/beefproject/beef.git

git clone https://github.com/beefproject/beef.git

this is what i need to do? i will try. after i tell you thanks

[kalifan]

I have another question, older metasploit modules must be loaded in this path path: '/usr/share/metasploit-framework/ ?

[kalifan]

i dont know what is wrong,? i following the instruction for install beef. in the older version i never get an error, the problem it is when beef try to login with metasploit. i change the user and password and keep going the problem. in this section
beef/extensions/metasploit/config.yaml

beef:
extension:
metasploit:
name: 'Metasploit'
enable: true
# Metasploit msgrpc connection options
host: "127.0.0.1"
port: 55552
user: "msf" <................... here
pass: "abc123" <................. here
uri: '/api'
ssl: true
ssl_version: 'TLS1'
ssl_verify: true
# Public connect back host IP address for victim connections to Metasploit
callback_host: "127.0.0.1"
# URIPATH from Metasploit Browser AutoPwn server module
autopwn_url: "autopwn"
# Start msfrpcd automatically with BeEF
auto_msfrpcd: false
auto_msfrpcd_timeout: 120
msf_path: [
{os: 'osx', path: '/opt/local/msf/'},
{os: 'livecd', path: '/opt/metasploit-framework/'},
{os: 'bt5r3', path: '/opt/metasploit/msf3/'},
{os: 'bt5', path: '/opt/framework3/msf3/'},
{os: 'backbox', path: '/opt/backbox/msf/'},
{os: 'kali', path: '/usr/share/metasploit-framework/'},

{os: 'custom', path: ''}

Make sure you're starting Metasploit RPC with SSL=y as per the FAQ.

[SiNaPsEr0x]

fix with correct ssl_version: 'TLS1'

[kalifan]

well after effort so much i can loaded the metasploit in beef. i just put false for true.

is it important configure to SSL=true?

LOL error i cant i mean in the image.

[SiNaPsEr0x]

I dont know... but Y is ok

[gmojo02]

Installing bundle install with non root user worked for mr

[bcoles]

Hi @kalifan

Using SSL=true is important to protect from sniffing and MitM. It's less important if you're using 127.0.0.1.

Regarding the browser image, modern browsers are updated monthly. It's likely that support for the latest version of the hooked browser had not been added at the time of hook.

Is everything working now? Can I close this issue?

Hello friends I have the same problem, I have read your comments of placing ssl = false and ssl_verify = false also does not come out, I put both in true, and I get nothing.

extension:
metasploit:
name: 'Metasploit'
enable: true
host: "127.0.0.1"
port: 55552
user: "msf"
pass: "abc123"
uri: '/api'
# if you need "ssl: true" make sure you start msfrpcd with "SSL=y", like:
# load msgrpc ServerHost=IP Pass=abc123 SSL=y
ssl: false
ssl_version: 'TLSv1'
ssl_verify: false
callback_host: "192.168.1.8"
autopwn_url: "autopwn"
auto_msfrpcd: false
auto_msfrpcd_timeout: 120
msf_path: [
{os: 'osx', path: '/opt/local/msf/'},
{os: 'livecd', path: '/opt/metasploit-framework/'},
{os: 'bt5r3', path: '/opt/metasploit/msf3/'},
{os: 'bt5', path: '/opt/framework3/msf3/'},
{os: 'backbox', path: '/opt/backbox/msf/'},
{os: 'kali', path: '/usr/share/metasploit-framework/'},
{os: 'pentoo', path: '/usr/lib/metasploit'},

{os: 'custom', path: ''}
]

Be aware that this functionality may or may not be broken.
