TypeError raised in canari create-profile sploitego after commit 31dae7c

[tomty89]

After commit 31dae7c, the following error is raised when canari create-profile sploitego is run:
TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance
An mtz file is still created with yet much smaller size. No error is raised by canari with commit c90ed9f.

Btw is canari/sploitego still being supported and supposed to work with the latest Maltego (3.5.3)? I am actually neither user of Maltego/Sploitego/Canari. I found the above issue because I was helping someone testing out his problem with Maltego. When he import the mtz file (one created successfully without the TypeError mentioned above), an error with only an red exclamation mark but no text message pops up.

Hi @tomty89

Thanks for the bug report. I will look into the test cases you generated. With regards to the red icon at the bottom of Maltego - you should be able to click on that icon and get a detailed error stack trace. Would you be able to show me what that error was?

[tomty89]

I'll ask the guy if he can post the error here if I see him again on IRC (Actually I already pasted the link of this issue to him). I just downloaded Maltego myself and try importing the mtz as entity and configuration. It seems to work fine for me.

I have the same problem in a new installation of Canari, did someone find the solution?

Here's how I'm currently hacking around this problem: caolan@dde5da3
