passbe/beef-migration-test-3 — Issue #296: ERROR DataObjects::ConnectionError: database is locked
Author: passbe
Created: 2011-12-09 00:14:37+00:00
State: open

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run BeEF and login on the BeEF admin interface.
2. Hook a victim browser.
3. Intercept the victim browser requests/responses to identify the failure.
4. Once the browser has been hooked, click over it on the "Online browsers" list.
5. The hooked browser info is retrieved on the right pane.
6. Leave the browser hooked without performing any action, and the error message will appear after a few polling requests from the BeEF JavaScript running on the victim (hook.js).

Browser request: (TIME 13:28:14 (GMT+1) or 12:28:14 GMT)

The error is generated when BeEF replies back to the standard polling requests to hook.js with a 404 instead of a 200. See attached file with the whole session from Paros.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- No error expected, but the error is generated on the BeEF console:
