SET Error on port 80

[skorpinok]

Hello
           When i run social engineering tool kit i get this error   :Something is running on port 80. Seeing if it's a stale SET process.
i used Java Applet Attack Method-Site - site cloner. i restarted SET & still the problem persists,please suggest me how to solve this ?

Thank you

If you're using Backtrack, you probably have apache set to start automatically, which is probably where the conflict is.

netstat -antp will tell you what the problem is.

I'm using backtrack 5r2, a netstat -antp reveals me this,

Apache is running, I highlighted in bold, that's why SET doesn't load.
Try stopping Apache and see if that helps: "apache2 stop"  or "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop"

Or, just configure SET to use apache in set_config:


# USE APACHE INSTEAD OF STANDARD PYTHON WEB SERVERS, THIS WILL INCREASE SPEED OF
# THE ATTACK VECTOR
APACHE_SERVER=ON

Thanks now it works without any problem, did exactly as you said, however , in the mean while iam faced with another problem, metasploit wont load in SET (waited for minutes )when i use java applet attack method,any idea what could be causing this ?

I'm not sure I see where the error is. Double check the set_config that it is pointed to the correct msf directory.

Well in set_config previously was default /pentest/exploits/framework3, which i later changed to cd /opt/metasploit/msf3/ after this still same problem, then i located msfconsole through terminal

root@bt:~# locate msfconsole
/opt/metasploit/app/msfconsole
/opt/metasploit/apps/pro/msf3/msfconsole
/opt/metasploit/apps/pro/msf3/test/functional/framework/msfconsole_spec.rb
/opt/metasploit/msf3/msfconsole

/pentest/exploits/framework2/docs/QUICKSTART.msfconsole
/usr/local/bin/msfconsole
/usr/share/applications/backtrack-metasploit-msfconsole.desktop

then once again i configure in SET DEFINE THE PATH TO METASPLOIT HERE, FOR EXAMPLE /pentest/exploits/framework3
METASPLOIT_PATH= /pentest/exploits/framework2/msfconsole.

still not working anymore, where could be the problem, i use Backtrack 5R2, metasploit v4.4.0-dev. any ideas ?

[cd1zz]

Dont point it to the msfconsole binary, point it to the path. It should be

/pentest/exploits/framework3

ok i changed it to

How long are you waiting?

Does metasploit start separately, on it's own?

[hell_razor]

It should be /pentest/exploits/framework (they dropped the 3) or
/opt/metasploit/msf3

[cd1zz]

Yep, hell_razor is right. I was going off memory. Just checked and they did drop the 3. However, I thought SET threw an error when it used the wrong dir.

sorry bro.. i did what mr. razor told tried each one of them  /pentest/exploits/framework & /opt/metasploit/msf3, its out of luck, its same again, updated metasploit & SET too before this. well i'll try to reinstall Backtrack 5R2 O.S... guess this would work..

here is the brief info regarding my set_config..

I would just grab a fresh copy of both and start there.
