metasploit/set

[parrotface]

Cant get meterpreter session ether using SET or Metersploit.
e.g. using on Set BT4-r1
option 2 Web attack vector
2 Metersploit Browser Exploit
2 Site Clone
9 Ms exp "Aurora"
2 reverse-tcp meterpreter
server started

Client - Windows Vsta - Firefox browser
enter http://192.168.1.186:31338
gets cloned site OK
starts Dowloading - then just stays in that state.

Back on Attack machine
server started
Sending stage (749056 bytes) to 192.168.1.117
then just stays in that state.

The above is just one example, have tried many ways as shown in metasploit unleashed and various video's etc all seem to hang. Also tried with AV disabled.
any pointers please would be appreciated. I don't expect to be spoon fed but I am tearing my hair out (the little what's left). The madening point is I have had it working months ago. I can get a session NO problem if I load the exploit on the victims machine, I am now trying to make the victim download it.
many many thanks

Well you honestly don't have any idea what you are doing.

The exploit is called "Microsoft Internet Explorer "Aurora" Memory Corruption (MS10-002)" if it's an exploit for IE why are you using Firefox as the browser ?

Do you have a firewall ? Are you behind a router ?
If you can get a session if you load the payload into the victims PC and run it than the problem is the exploit. So I would suggest you read up on exploits before actually using them.

Yeh exploiting FF with IE exploits is always going to be a problem for sure. If you want to know why (whilst using the wrong exploit) you see your msf console hanging, then search up "metasploit stager".

Thanks for the response

I have been following metasploit unleashed and got it wrong.

I am on my LAN and also tried turning off the fire wall
I see I have mixed FF & IE in my example
Thanks I will now go back to the drawing board and start again. many thanks for the pointers
