Failed to open display #5

I've had this issue on two completely separate kali instances. I install the tool following the installation instructions. The docker installation completes successfully and sudo ./bkscan.sh -h gives me the expected output. However when I try to scan a target machine with sudo ./bkscan.sh -t <IP Address> I get the following error.

[+] No credential provided, won't support NLA No protocol specified [22:41:07:683] [1:1] [ERROR][com.freerdp.client.x11] - failed to open display: :0.0 [22:41:07:683] [1:1] [ERROR][com.freerdp.client.x11] - Please check that the $DISPLAY environment variable is properly set.

Hi,

It is a known issue with docker and some distributions like Kali. It was discussed in https://github.com/nccgroup/BKScan/pull/1 and it is documented in the readme: https://github.com/nccgroup/BKScan#failed-to-open-display

After having no luck with kali, I tried on ubuntu 18.04. From a completely fresh install (I chose not to update or upgrade when prompted from the gui), these are the commands I ran

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/BKScan.git
cd BKScan
sudo docker build -t bkscan .
sudo ./bkscan.sh -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 3389

and the output I got was

[+] Targeting xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3389...
[+] No credential provided, won't support NLA

Sorry to hear you are still having problems. Below are 2 environments I tried a while back but things may have changed since then:

Failing on Ubuntu 18.04:

You may want to try on the latest Ubuntu though as they may have fixed the problem https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
