Which attack vector are you using for this? Can you paste the output from start to finish so I can troubleshoot?

Thanks!

The Spearphishing module allows you to specially craft email messages and send
them to a large (or small) number of people with attached fileformat malicious
payloads. If you want to spoof your email address, be sure "Sendmail" is in-
stalled (apt-get install sendmail) and change the config/set_config SENDMAIL=OFF
flag to SENDMAIL=ON.

There are two options, one is getting your feet wet and letting SET do
everything for you (option 1), the second is to create your own FileFormat
payload and use it in your own attack. Either way, good luck and enjoy!

1. Perform a Mass Email Attack

2. Create a FileFormat Payload

[doubledareyou]

I'm having the same issue when selecting Spear-Phishing Attack Vectors > Perform a Mass Email Attack. "All payloads get sent to the /root/.set/template.pdf directory" followed by "No previous payload created".

I just installed Kali 2.0 - not sure if that's related to the issue or not. SET version 6.5

[setoolkit]

i also meet the same problem! i am so crazy for this problem. my setoolkit version is 5.6,what are you?
if you solves the problem ,please tell we.thank you !

[trustedsec]

Thanks for posting this - this is due to removing msfcli from Metasploit. Currently rewriting to address. BTW you are all using an out of date version of SET. Current version is 6.5.3 - soon to be 6.5.4.

[trustedsec]

This is fixed in 6.5.4, should be released shortly. Thanks for the report!

[seanhof]

Hello. I just cloned the git repository so I'm running 6.5.4. When I try and generate a fileformat exploit with a PDF it never finishes after it says Generating fileformat exploit...
Waiting for payload generation to complete...
over and over without end.

I also get the error:
[-] Cannot find resource script: /root/.set/meta_config
msf >

When I try and create a payload and listener. I have verified that the file does exist.
root@kali:~/.set# cat meta_config

set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

You are using an extremely old version of SET. Please update to the latest - this was resolved several months ago.

[joshozilla]

I've updated by downloading the latest zip file from github, extracting, then installing the setup.py file. The problem, however, still persists. I've also updated in the actual SET application with no solution.

[trustedsec]

Not really sure what to tell you here. Running this from Kali 2 works perfectly fine in a fresh install and the latest version of SET:

Hi,
I've created a PDF file and close the Terminal. now I want to check is there any victim how can I check it?

[blank37]

I have a similar problem. When I use set and go through the process the PDF file doesn't show up. its says its in the root set directory and in the file called "autorun" but that file doesn't exist same with the template.pdf. I checked hidden files and everything. It seems to not even exist, its annoying. Someone please help.

[chunonn]

I think you guys need to create a root on Kali Linux 2020. After creating go to your root user you should see it

Thanks for posting this - this is due to removing msfcli from Metasploit. Currently rewriting to address. BTW you are all using an out of date version of SET. Current version is 6.5.3 - soon to be 6.5.4.

I'm on the latest version of SET (Version: 8.0.3).
I'm on MacOS Big Sur.

Here's my selection steps:

1. Social-Engineering Attacks
2. Website Attack Vectors
3. Metasploit Browser Exploit Method
4. Site Cloner
   set> Are you using NAT/Port Forwarding [yes|no]: no
5. Metasploit Browser Autopwn (USE AT OWN RISK!)
6. Windows Reverse_TCP Meterpreter
   set:payloads> Port to use for the reverse [443]: 443

The result of the above selection is the following error:
[-] Cannot find resource script: /Users/<MY_USER_ACCOUNT>/.set//meta_config

I tried "Create a Payload and Listener" and I have no issues there. The meta_config does get created successfully, but the steps above always results in the error posted above. Pretty annoying. I've searched the entire net to no avail. In your comment above you mention that this is due to the fact the "msfcli" has been removed, but you didn't provide a resolution as to what needs to happen to fix the problem.

Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
