No payload configured question.

JaseNZC commented 4 years ago

On a new install on Kali linux 20.3 Metasploit does not seem to have a default.

Is there something I should be setting as a default in Metasploit ??

When detecting , ssh or ftp and it running an exploit you get the following

RHOST => . RHOSTS => . LHOST => 127.0.0.1 LPORT => 4444 [] Exploiting target ... [-] 82.208.12.55:21 - Exploit failed: A payload has not been selected. [] Exploiting target 2001:1528:246:0:ff52:d00c:37ff:0 [-] 2001:1528:246:0:ff52:d00c:37ff:0:21 - Exploit failed: A payload has not been selected. [*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.

Looks like this the default behavior in the latest MSF and no other valid payloads exist, but it shouldn't affect the results of the scan since it defaults to interactive shell.
