[BUG] PoshC2 Init while creating Donut payload fails
laznotlazy opened this issue · comments
Description
When I install PoshC2 from Kali repo on a AWS Kali AMI and configure the project, config and start the poshc2 server or service (posh-service or posh-server), it tries to boot up and create payloads. When creating the donut payload it is stuck with the below error message. Afterwards also implants can't connect, the installation seems broken.
Execution Environment:
All of this must be filled in
| Data | Value |
|---|---|
| Full Posh version (all the text between the === at the top of the Implant Handler) | poshc2/kali-rolling,now 7.4.0-0kali1 all [installed] |
| OS & version | Linux kali 5.16.0-kali7-cloud-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 5.16.18-1kali1 (2022-04-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux |
| Using AWS Kali AMI |
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Boot up a AWS EC2 Instance with Kali AMI
- sudo apt update -y
- sudp apt install poshc2 -y
- Configure posh-project and posh-config and launch the server. While launching you run into the donut creation error.
Expected behavior
The PoshC2 Server should create the donut payload.

[>] Create new DB and remove dir (/var/lib/poshc2/testnet/)
Hopefully fixed on the python3.10 branch
you can try .\Install.sh -b python3.10 and create a new project and should be g2g, lmk if any issues
Works just fine, thanks!
