Type error returned when starting attack

See original GitHub issue

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

root@005e10755623:/data# bees attack -n 10000 -c 250 -u https://host.redacted.com/api
Read 5 bees from the roster: us-east-1a
Connecting to the hive.
Assembling bees.
Each of 5 bees will fire 2000 rounds, 50 at a time.
Stinging URL sequentially so it will be cached for the attack.

TypeError: sequence index must be integer, not 'str'

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.

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,
