I reproduced this issue with metasploit version >= 5.0.14

I am currently using metasploit 5.0.16 and the issue is still in full effect

Not sure if this actually will help , and I feel it has nothing to do with the issue. But just in case, I do not run Gnome like the majority of the planet. I am running K.D.E

Confirm still an issue, did apt update && apt -y full-upgrade and see the same behavior

There are a few forks of armitage on GitHub with patches past what armitage's main repo has. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to look through all of them. One of them may have a patch to support msf5, without an open pull request just yet. e.g. https://github.com/kimocoder/armitage

I checked the forks on GiHtub. There are some patches we don't have in Kali. But they are not for msf5.
I tested them even so and I still have the issue.

the issue is still confirmed..stilll having the same problem over here too

Same issue, performed a full update yet it wasn't fixed

Until this bug is marked as resolved, unfortunately, the bug is not yet fixed.

The issue appears to rely on the ranking of exploits. Selecting poor or manually adding low to preferences you will get it to function. This all smells of a difference in db structure changes or/and something related to new postgresql and rpc. I have done clean ant, rebuilt from original with changes but check changes in msf database since this tool simply synchs it.

Good work Nafwa03

I have the same issue. Recreating db does not fix this. Is there a workaround ? Armitage has been useless since April updates.

See nafwa03’s comment for a workaround until we get this fixed @gromek82

@steev - that did the trick - many thanks.

Here's the upstream ticket FWIW, nothing new compared to the discussion here so far. And no sign of upstream activity either: https://github.com/rsmudge/armitage/issues/224

I'm pretty confident that major or minor issues with metasploit and armitage are the postgresql binding to localhost. That could be a deep or non-deep problem but its my two cents..

I think i found a work around from this issue...
On Armitage - Go to set exploit rank and change to POOR
Try to find attacks...you will see this working now..

Please let me know if this works for you

Yes, as noted by Nafwa03, that does work.
