Metasploit nmap_run -e hangs with Using code '404' as not found

Question

Background

When I run Metasploit, it hangs at the same place no matter what I do. It stops at this line,

[*] Using code '404' as not found.

Steps to reproduce,

msf > mfsconsole
msf > load wmap
msf > wmap_sites -l
msf > wmap_targets -t http://123.12.123.123/index.php
msf > wmap_run -t
msf > wmap_run -e

At this point it runs and then gets stuck here,

[*] Using code '404' as not found.

I have tried this on, MAC High Sierra & Kali Linux

Both fail in the exact same place.

Question

What is the cause of this and how do I overcome it?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. My resolution was to reload the modules.

You can do that with the following command:

wmap_modules -r

I hope this helps
