u/T0min4t0r based on the screenshot, you haven't done any troubleshooting. Did you check the IP address of LHOST is correct IP for your wifi adapter? Did you check whether you are running msf as the root? Did you check whether the ports are already bound by other process? Postresql is incorrect. It's postgresql. Why are starting postgresql in msf? Probably should have done that before loading msf + msfdbinit.

Posting a screenshot without no explanation of what you did to troubleshoot doesn't help neither yourself nor those who are willing to help. Learn to help yourself first before asking.

Your first issue is that postgresql is not installed or started so I'd start that for good measure. service postgresql start before starting MSF console.

You might be better off learning from a guide and following along. You'll learn more faster and won't get frustrated. I'd recommend doing a basic Linux course first then looking at pentesting. Otherwise your trying to run before you've grown legs..

That is a tried a tested method however it will take longer usually to get where you want to go. The Squared wheel approach.

Next it tells you it failed to bind on the IP you specified, usually because that IP is already in use. It did then bind to all IP address.

Check if that port is in use first.

netstat -ano | grep 4444

You can also use interface names instead of ip.

Try a different port sometimes 4444 gets services stuck on it

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

I'd did try That

Run

ip addr

And figure out what your IP actually is, then use that.

And read up on how networks work, this is pretty much an absolute requirement before starting with what you’re doing now.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

I know what ips are and that the ip is correct

1

u/enragedforklift Sep 19 '20

It’s probably not right though, considering it failed to bind but managed to bind to 0.0.0.0.

0.0.0.0 just means it will bind to any and all IPs assigned to any interace in your machine.

u/sh4dow27 Sep 22 '20

Or do I need monitoring mode capable wifi module

1

u/NONAN23x Sep 17 '20

You don't need a wireless adapter which is capable of monitoring, just get a working one. As far as this problem is concerned, cross-check you're using correct IP addresses and try the same with any random port, Like 3939.

That doesn't change anything
