BeEF Broken in Rolling Release?

[jqreator]

I have a fresh install of Kali 2 Rolling fully updated and it looks like something is broken in BeEF. I saw another thread a little further down, but it appears to be a different error.

I have same issue. BeEF is broken and cannot start after dist-upgrade kali-rolling. Anybody have solution for this?

Last week, I did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. BeEF is currently working on my system.

Have you tried hitting the repos, and/or uninstalling & reinstalling BeEF?

Hi grid,

My system is fully patched as of today and the issue survived a reinstall from the repos.

I just build a second VM and BeEF is broken when the dist is fully updated.

Seems a few people are having issues with BeEF on Kali.

Can you try disabling the DNS extension in "/usr/share/beef-xss/config.yaml " by setting beef.extension.dns.enabled: false

follow commands :-

cd /usr/share/beef-xss/
gedit config.yaml

scroll down the file
u will find something like this

dns:
enable: true

set it as ->>

dns:
enable: false

" Save & Exit "

do The Same For The File ( /etc/beef-xss/config.yaml )

then in terminal >> beef-xss

and u can open the panel in browser

tried it and still no joy, running beef-xss opens the localhost window but still displays "connect be found"
