passbe/beef-migration-test-2 — Issue #315: Implement a graceful exit when MSF is not accessible
Author: passbe
Created: 2011-12-05 10:21:10+00:00
State: open

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set enable_msf = 1
2. Either don't have MSF running or don't tun the instruction: 'load xmlrpc Pass=abc123 ServerType=Web'
3. Start BeEF

What is the expected output?
An error message should be displayed to the console. The message should explain the problem and a method to potentially fix it.

What do you see instead?
A stacktrace is output to the console:
