All encoders failed to encode

[plusplus99]

I am trying to use this exploit on HTB : https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi

pretty simple yet metasploit gives me an error : all encoders failed to encode

I have spent hours trying to find a solution but I found nothing :/

This is screenshot for the error https://ibb.co/sQ5cCFY

Metasploit version is 6.0.2-dev

I am really frustrated and I am about to give up on my first box.

Hi, sorry for the duplicate. I've just reported the same issue in #14141. I provided further information to help solving this issue (including the 6f15368 commit spotted by git bisect) but I'm afraid I don't have a fix or workaround for it.

Hey!
I had the same issue. After a lot of attempts I got the solution - just change the payload.
you can use show payloads to see all payloads. I chose the payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp_allports cause it's very similar to the original (by name, the original is windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp).
command:

msf6 exploit(windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp_allports

Good Luck! :)
