4 years ago You can learn about about the local loopback interface here:
If you want to access BeEF running inside a virtual machine from the host operating system you'll need to use the IP address of the LAN network interface.
If you want to be able to access BeEF from other hosts on the LAN, you'll need to ensure the network interface is in bridged mode.
Verify first that your issue/request has not been posted previously:
Ensure you're using the latest version of BeEF.
Environment
What version/revision of BeEF are you using? Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF) 0.5.0.0
On what version of Ruby? ruby 2.5.7p206 (2019-10-01 revision 67816) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
On what browser? Firefox ESR
On what operating system? Kali Linux 2020.1 (VirtualBox Installation)
Configuration
I had not touched the configuration file.
Summary
I can access http://127.0.0.1:3000/demos/basic.html inside the Virtualbox, but I cannot access it from the Host machine or the other devices on the same Wi-Fi.
Expected Behaviour
The other devices' web browser should be able to open the page.
Actual Behaviour
The browser shows: This site can’t be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
