Beef doesn't run in Kali Rolling [18-03-2016] #1249

decode-dev · 2016-04-16T20:40:32Z

The beef shows the Following Error when started from the command line.

Error :

Hi @decode-dev

Thanks for the report. Seems a few people are having issues with BeEF on Kali.

Can you try disabling the DNS extension in /etc/beef-xss/config.yaml by setting beef.extension.dns.enabled: false and let us know how it goes?

If that doesn't work, in the short term you can try using BeEF from the git repo:

git clone https://github.com/beefproject/beef.git
cd beef
gem install bundler
bundle install
./beef

decode-dev · 2016-04-18T00:50:20Z

Hi @bcoles
After making
beef.extension.dns.enabled: false , it works.
Seems to be the DNS Extension is causing the problems in the latest Kali Edition.

ziflar · 2016-04-18T18:23:24Z

Yes the problem appears when ruby is updated to the 2.3.0 version
for the first installation of kali rolling, I proceeded as follows::
BEFORE DOING an apt-update,apt-upgrade,apt dist-upgrade.!!!!!!

             echo " ruby hold" | dpkg --set-selections
             echo " ruby2.2 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
             echo " ruby2.2-dev:amd64 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
             apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

I just block the ruby updating and it works fine

bcoles · 2016-04-21T02:35:19Z

Thanks @decode-dev and @ziflar

This is a dependency issue as the DNS extension requires an old version of the rubydns gem (version 0.7.0). The DNS extension needs to be updated to work with the latest version of the rubydns gem to prevent issues like this in the future.

The DNS extension is now disabled by default. Closing this issue.

ziflar · 2016-04-22T08:34:28Z

solution : there is 2 way to do it after upgrading kali rolling

solution 1: solve the authentification problem

leafpad /etc/beef-xss/config.yaml

and change

console:
shell:
enable: true

dns:
enable: false

save the file and open a terminal
service beef-xss force-reload
it's ok

solution 2: solve the hockeed browser's problem

first we do all steep's at the solution 1 and also we do as below

cd /usr/share/
rm -r beef-xss
git clone https://github.com/beefproject/beef.git
mv beef beef-xss
rm -r config.yaml
ln -s /etc/beef-xss/config.yaml /usr/share/beef-xss/config.yaml
ln -s /var/lib/beef-xss/ /usr/share/beef-xss/db
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
bundle install
./beef
authenticate to the beef interface and leave

Now you can run beef from the favorite menu
it's ok

bcoles · 2016-04-22T08:47:40Z

@ziflar that makes sense. This is a gem dependency issue in the Kali environment. Installing from git will fix the issue.

However, your first patch won't work as you've enabled the console extension. This extension is currently broken and should be disabled, as should the dns extension.

ziflar · 2016-04-22T09:06:24Z

@bcoles 👍 thx for your help
the update is ok
i just run :
update-beef
beef-xss
it's ok

sunilsong · 2016-05-29T12:08:00Z

Disabling dns worked.!!

ioquatix · 2017-04-11T12:38:35Z

RubyDNS 2.0.0-rc1 is available and it should be suitable for your update as it no longer depends on celluloid. Let me know if I can provide any other help.

After installing and updating everything why isn't beef is running:

root@kali:/usr/share/beef-xss# gem install bundler
Successfully installed bundler-1.14.6
Parsing documentation for bundler-1.14.6
Done installing documentation for bundler after 4 seconds
1 gem installed

root@kali:/usr/share/beef-xss# bundle install
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and
installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root
users on this machine.
Warning: the running version of Bundler (1.13.6) is older than the version that created the lockfile (1.14.4). We suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Bundler by running gem install bundler.
