Connection to Metasploit backend failed.

[passbe]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Configured BeEF.rc in the install directory of metaspoilt
2. Configured Config.yaml to enable metaspoilt with the host and callback_host information to point to the metaspoilt credentials
3. Running ruby beef throws the following errors : [ 7:51:57][!] Connection to Metasploit backend failed. [ 7:51:57][!] Could not authenticate to Metasploit xmlrpc.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? MSF integration should be successful

What version/revision of the product are you using? On what browser? On what operating system? Beef 0.4.2.7-alpha , Ubuntu

Please provide any additional information and screen shots below. Config.yaml : metasploit: enable: true host: "127.0.0.1" url-path: "/RPC2" port: 55553 user: "msf" pass: "xxxxx" callback_host: "192.168.141.138" autopwn_url: "autopwn"

BeEF.rc File : $ cat BeEF.rc load xmlrpc ServerHost=192.168.141.138 PASS=xxxxx ServerType=Web

yes, beef and metaspoilt are on the same system (virtual machine) version - metasploit v3.4.2-dev , beef 0.4.2.7-alpha.

Have the same issue even after changing the settings to "localhost" in the beef.rc and config.yaml files.

In config.yaml for the metasploit extension, can you change the host to your local IP address instead of 127.0.0.1?

Config.yaml : metasploit: enable: true host: "<your IP instead of 127.0.0.1> "

The connection is working for me. I could reproduce the issue, but it works fine when I change "127.0.0.1" to the internal IP as described above.
