HTTP Listener fails to start Errno13 #1311

Closed saebyeolbe closed 5 years ago

saebyeolbe commented 5 years ago

Empire Version

2.5

OS Information (Linux flavor, Python version)

Kali Linux on AWS instance

Expected behavior and description of the error, including any actions taken immediately prior to the error. The more detail the better.

When trying to create a http listener, I get hit with the error seen below, Errno13. I have tried to set the CertPath as Empire/data, however the same error message shows. I have tried changing the Host option to my AWS EC2 elastic IP, but it does not help either.

Any additional information

Hi! Listener startup on Port 80 failed: Permission denied, I think you forgot the launch Empire as root. Anyway, you should avoid to use Empire as root and use it behind a reverse proxy or a NAT/PAT firewall.

Oh my god... I'm so dumb! I'm used to logging in as a root on my VirtualBox Kali VM but I didn't think to sudo on EC2. Thank you very much!
