`vagrant provision` fails, after a successful `vagrant up` using tor-proxy.pentestrc

[jeffhx]

Note: i'm not sure if i'm doing the correct step since i'm new to all this.

After a successful vagrant up:

$ PENTESTRC=examples/tor-proxy.pentestrc vagrant up 
Bringing machine 'kali' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> kali: Checking if box 'Sliim/kali-2018.1-amd64' is up to date...
==> kali: Machine already provisioned. Run `vagrant provision` or use the `--provision`
==> kali: flag to force provisioning. Provisioners marked to run always will still run

when I do

$ PENTESTRC=examples/tor-proxy.pentestrc vagrant provision kali

I got following output:

==> kali: Running provisioner: shell...

Is this something related to this error?

Hi,

Thanks for your report, this is the tor-full cookbook that is not compatible with latest Chef.

I fixed this issue on my fork : https://github.com/sliim-cookbooks/tor-full/tree/fix-attributes but pentest-env use the original cookbook (I will fix that). There is also an other issue with Kali OS that I fixed in kali-support branch. Both fixes are merged in the custom branch.

So the fix should be relatively easy, can you try to change the following line in the Berksfile:

cookbook 'tor-full'

by:

cookbook 'tor-full', git: 'https://github.com/sliim-cookbooks/tor-full', ref: 'custom'

Then, rm the Berksfile.lock, run berks vendor and retry to provision the machine.

The suggested steps work for me. I'm seeing the success message:

==> kali: Chef Client finished, 23/42 resources updated in 01 minutes 05 seconds

I can do a quick regression test once your fix is merged to the master branch

Thanks for the help.

[Sliim]

Fixed, thanks! :)
