Type error returned when starting attack

[joehep]

I have built a Docker container using Ubuntu and am seeing the following error when I direct my bees to attack.

I have tried this on my Mac, Centos, and Ubuntu. I have used several versions of Python - from 2.7.10 to 3.6.5 an each has given the same error.

Try cms++ it should be better equiped for a multiple data transfer....

I've tried every version of Python available for Amazon Linux to get bees installed and every combination gets to a different point of progress, but ultimately fails with some Python error or another. I started with the default python2.7 then tried the latest available via yum, python 3.6. Then I tried python 2.6, and finally python 3.4, which is where I am now. I had to upgrade boto to 2.49.0 to even get it to authenticate. And now this TypeError: 'gaierror' object is not subscriptable error when trying to initiate the attack is where I am. Can anybody provide a set of versions of python, boto, and other dependencies that actually works on Amazon Linux? Perhaps I'll have better luck with Ubuntu?

I get the same TypeError: 'gaierror' object is not subscriptable error with Python 3.6. The same on Amazon Linux and Ubuntu.

With Python 2.7 I get the error TypeError: sequence index must be integer, not 'str as above and that is on a new install of Ubuntu instead of Amazon Linux.

There must be a combination that works.

I get the same problem with latest Amazon Linux 2 / Python 2.6 and Ubuntu 18 / Python 2.7. Is this project dead?

I'm getting this error when running with the default ami that the tool chooses. Anybody have a workaround?

[KishoreAllaparthi]

Any workaround ?

[rene1983]

this project is dead

[KishoreAllaparthi]

Are there any other alternatives to beeswithmachineguns?

Paramiko tries to connect using eg. ip-10-10-120-230.ec2.internal. That doesn't resolve to anything for me locally, my workaround is editing:

'instance_name': instance.private_dns_name if instance.public_dns_name == "" else instance.public_dns_name,

to:

'instance_name': instance.private_ip_address,
