Pcaprub module problem

Starting from terminal works for me whether or not X Server is running. It does not run when you use the GUI to launch the MSF console.

Hi, I was trying many things but only works if I start the msfconsole in terminal running with "./" before the msfconsole in other words:

root@bt: ./msfconsole

I think this is an issue with a relative path somewhere in Metasploit. If you have completed the fix on

And you still get this:

Code:

---

msf auxiliary(ipidseq) > use auxiliary/scanner/ip/ipidseq
msf auxiliary(ipidseq) > set RHOSTS 172.31.254.90
RHOSTS => 172.31.254.90
msf auxiliary(ipidseq) > exploit

Starting it from the base directory /usr/local/bin seems to be what causes the problem.

Try this:

Code:

---

root@bt:/pentest/exploits/framework3# ./msfconsole
msf auxiliary(ipidseq) > exploit
[*] 172.31.254.90's IPID sequence class: Incremental![*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
msf auxiliary(ipidseq) > Interrupt: use the 'exit' command to qui

If you look at which msfconsole is run by default from the path setting it will be this one:

Code:

---

root@bt:/pentest/exploits/framework3# which msfconsole
/usr/local/bin/msfconsole

---

This is just a link to the one in the /pentest/exploits/framework3 directory but will start it with a different base directory and the external directory is not there when it looks for a relative path to it's base directory.

Code:

---

root@bt:/pentest/exploits/framework3/external/pcaprub#
