'version too low' SSL error with empire_exec

[tratteur]

Seeing similar issues to the problems with DeathStar and Empire on recent Kali. Empire is started with the REST api and defaults, all running fine.

CME is the 'stable' version included in Kali (3.1.5)

crackmapexec smb 1.2.3.4 -u bob -p 'Password!' -d DOMAIN -M empire_exec -o LISTENER=DeathStar
EMPIRE_EXEC                                    [-] Unable to connect to Empire's RESTful API: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=1337): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/admin/login (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_hello', 'version too low')],)",),))

Just double-checked, this issue also affects 4.0.0dev - 'Sercurty' / current git.

Any update to this? I'm getting the same issue running stable CME (3.1.5) and Empire 2.2

Same issue on Kali with the 4.0.0dev version and Empire version 2.2. It has something to do with SSL version?

I just tried with a fresh install of Debian 9. Everything works. Took a few extra steps to get the crypto libraries installed.

That was with Deathstar.

Just FYI this was a bug with Empire not CME. I submitted a PR to Empire (https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/pull/744) which addresses this issue and was merged recently. If you're still seeing the error you probably need to update Empire.
