GeoIP database will need to be manually installed, follow https://github.com/beefproject/beef/wiki/Geolocation

It's unclear, did beef launch or no?

Beef is not starting, it just stops after the it gets to "0" in the count down.

I am running kali on WSL, i dont know if that has any thing to do with it. I reinstalled kali, to see if that fixed anything, but still the same.

@NassiC @ottyx could you try running that command as sudo

sudo beef-xss

wheatley commented 2 years ago

@NassiC WSL should work with the kali base box, when I'm next at my computer I'll double check and let you know

NassiC commented 2 years ago

@NassiC @ottyx could you try running that command as sudo

sudo beef-xss

I've run it with sudo everytime. Tried with root user aswell, same thing.

wheatley commented 2 years ago

@NassiC are you win10 or win11, just going to start up an image to test.

NassiC commented 2 years ago

@wheatley i am running win10.

Experiencing the same issue . Im running Kali Nethunter Rootless in Termux for Android. 8. aarch64 Thought it might be giving me issues connected through VNC but Im getting the same result using Termux CLI .

"System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down" System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down"

Finishes the countdown and No Web GUI.

Looked up the error and Im seeing alot of people posting about WSL issues, understandable considering its a half assed alternative to virtualization.

Im not seeing entries for beef-xss in either /etc/init.d or /etc/systemd either.

The beef-xss executable is part of the beef-xss package for your operating system.

It doesn't do anything particularly complicated. Simply checks if you're using the default password (which must be changed to start BeEF), checks if the geoip database is installed (geoip is optional), starts BeEF, and opens a web browser.

The systemd service (default: /lib/systemd/system/beef-xss.service) is simple. All it does is run /usr/share/beef-xss/beef.

You can open a browser yourself. BeEF prints the appropriate URLs to the terminal when started. It also runs on the loopback interface by default, so you can simply browse to http://127.0.0.1:3000/ui/panel.
