Connection Error. Check Empire RESTful API about deathstar HOT 13 CLOSED

ok. I installed python 3.5.3 in a virtual environment using pipenv. Ran Deathstar in that context. The error didn't occur. listeners were being created in empire. So, I think the issue is with the python 3 version installed in Kali.

That's true, there's something wrong in the python3 in Kali.
However, using the virtualenv trick it fixes the problem:

cd ~/Tools/DeathStar
virtualenv -p python3 deathstar_env
source deathstar_env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

from deathstar.

I'll spin up a kali instance and check this out now. Hang tight

There seems to be an issue with the Python requests library on Kali not wanting to negotiate TLSv < 1.2.
I submitted a PR here EmpireProject/Empire#712, should be merged soon hopefully.

Thanks

@DanMcInerney your solution doesn't work for me.

Same problem in here too with Kali

still the same problem

I was able to get this working in Debian "stretch" so I compared the python 3 versions and noticed the discrepancy.

@OneDollarr that's because the empire password is different from Password123. Reset the db and set that password or use -p "yourempirepwd"

Closing since this was merged.
