cybergray Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I am trying to get more proficient with Metasploit. I have encountered an issue that has made me crazy the last few days. Using ms08_067_netapi in any manner I am getting: Handler failed to bind to xx.xxx.xx.x:4444:- - [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 0.0.0.0:4444 [-] xx.xxx.xx.x:445 - Exploit failed [unreachable]: Rex::ConnectionTimeout The connection timed out (xx.xxx.xx.x:445). [*] Exploit completed, but no session was created. I have found so much about this error but not the first full clear resolution. I have done so many things but so far I have been nulled. Any ideas or suggestions? Intel Xeon 8180 Octacosa-core Intel LGA 3647 Board Running 8 15TB Utrastar Drives Windows 10 Host/w Kali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It is exactly as the error message says, it can't reach the port xx.xxx.xx.x:445. Assuming you are attacking your own machines, are you running one the has SMB enabled and if accessible from where you are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergray Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 I am at home where I work from a lot. But going after a test machine we set up on location with Windows xp and no firewall or anti-virus protection enabled. It's just a sitting duck. I have gotten this error on a continuous basis without using a test machine while others at work have gone behind me and gotten different results. Kinda making me look bad. I need to get it fixed. I have resorted to disabling all security on my machine while doing this to no avail. I don't think my router would interfere with this. So I am reaching out for help.

digininja Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 When you say "on location" do you mean on a different site? Can you connect to the windows share on the machine from yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergray Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Sorry for the delay, getting ready to take my wife to lunch. It's mothersday. Yes I can connect outside of metasploit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
