Pwncat broken on Parrot OS

See original GitHub issue

Bug Description

On Parrot OS any attempt to create a listener fails, regardless if the python interpreter shipped with the distribution (3.9.2) or a fresh compiled latest version (3.9.7) is used.

pwncat fails to bind to any port with:

connection failed: generic channel failure

…then drops you into your local pwncat shell.

pwncat version

Provide the output of pwncat --version or a commit hash if working from a development branch.

$ pwncat --version
0.4.3

I was rerouted to install new switches onsite, no pwncat playtime today. Tomorrow for sure.

Thanks a lot ! That really helped ! When I connect with a windows machine I get a

windows.enumerate.domain: usr/local/master/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/pwncat/data/PowerSploit/Recon/Get-ComputerDetail.ps1: psmodule not found

I guess that is in the C2 Assembly, right ? Also “sessions” gives me a traceback…Hmm I’ll keep trying. I’ll have to play and roadtest a lot with pwncat.

Cheers, Michael

That error isn’t from the plugins. PowerSploit should be included in the installed Python module. I don’t know why it wouldn’t have been installed with pwncat. I can’t really help diagnose without a copy of the output including the traceback, which you mentioned you’ll have tomorrow.

To be clear, the plugins are .dll files which are loaded differently. PowerShell files are not “plugins,” but can be side loaded directly, and those scripts specifically should be bundled with the installation of pwncat.
