When clicking on beef xss framework, a terminal is opening and when it redirects to Web browser like in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..
I get an error in a dialog box

Failed to execute default web browser

Please help me on this..
I tried to set preffered Web browser to Mozilla. But it didn’t helped.

@reyandutta Can you please provide the error information, confirmation of environment and any other information?

Did the BeEF service start lsof -i :3000 ?

Can you access BeEF in your web browser using http://127.0.0.1:3000/ui/panel ?

Thanks! Problem Solved. The other beef which i installed via apt install beef-xss was conflicting with the cloned beef. So Iuninstalled it. Now its working fine.
It was my own mistake

How did you uninstall the old cloned beef?

How did you uninstall the old cloned beef?

sudo apt remove beef-xss
Hope it helps!

How did you uninstall the old cloned beef?

sudo apt remove beef-xss

Should I uninstall the beef and again install using git clone?

What issue are you facing?

@chandanmund Some people are reporting issues with Beef-xss which is the pre-packaged beef repo.
If it is unable to start like this:

beef-xss.service - beef-xss
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/beef-xss.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since xxxxx ago
Process: 1581 ExecStart=/usr/share/beef-xss/beef (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 1581 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)"

Can you please describe your setup so i can replicate and then chase up an interim fix and then try and raise with the kali gitlab repo.

Otherwise yes, if you are having issue and the installation guide on the wiki should be able to help with the install.

Hey, Can u clarify that whats the difference between the cloned beef and the apt install beef-xss. Are both versons same?

BeEF on the GitHub master branch receives more frequent updates but is also less tested. It should work on any system that is capable of running modern Ruby, although Windows is not officially supported.

The beef-xss package on Kali is maintained by the Kali team. In theory, it is meant to have been repacked for use specifically in the Kali environment. In theory, it should be set up to work with Kali.

Thank you for the clarification!

I am running BeEF in Kali, and I can’t get the sudo beef-xss command to work without the error. When I run BeEf from the Exploitation Tools menu, it won’t work either. However, I can access BeEF in my web browser using http://127.0.0.1:3000/ui/panel. Any advice?

@hacker7221,
BeEF isn’t support on termux unfortunately, i suggest looking here for information: #1680
If we can we might be able to help but we will need a lot more information about the error and environment setup before we can do that, i suggest a looking at the issue template for suggestions on info that we would need provided to try to help.

[SOLVED] Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

So I have google-chrome-beta (Version 22.0.1229.26 beta) installed, and Xfce is having issues with it. Whenever I try and pass a URL through to my web browser (say, opening a link from irssi), it opens in a new tab in Chrome (great) but then returns an error saying «failed to execute default web browser — input output error.» (profoundly annoying).

This only happens with Chrome, if my browser is set to Opera, it opens in a new tab in Opera and does not return the error. Same thing with Firefox. This bothers me because Chrome is the browser I want to use. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Even just suppressing the error message would work wonders for me. Thanks in advance.

You are using a beta version and you should expect errors. See if you can file a bug report with Google Chrome. They release beta verison for testing. If you do not want to test it, and want a more solid verison use the latest stable release. If your problem goes away then you will know it is the beta that is the problem.
Just for the record I am having an issue with Chrome but it is different then your problem.
Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

Okay, the problem was with the Beta/Unstable version of Chrome… although I do really want to run the bleeding edge versions, but obviously they have some problems with Xfce. (KDE works fine, sigh)

Edit: Thank you irv.
Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

Well, Chrome 22 is the stable version now and I’m having the same problem. Somehow chrome 22 and xfce do things that previously were ok, but aren’t anymore
Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

same here … chrome 22 and xfce do not kiss …
Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

I am experiencing this as well. I have Chrome mapped to my «Mail Reader» main menu icon, with gmail and facebook opening up in separate tabs upon launch. If Chrome is not open already, this works fine. However, if Chrome is already open, then if I select «Mail Reader» again, a new Chrome window opens and this error occurs.
Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

Did anyone post this error to bugtrack of Chrome or xfce?

Re: Failed to execute default web browser — input output error

Here’s a workaround:

1. Close Chrome
2. In Xfce’s preferred applications menu, select google-chrome (try changing it to Firefox and back to Chrome if you want to be thorough)
3. Start Chrome
4. When it asks if you want to set it as the default browser, choose no.

and voila, should work.

Mh, I tried the workaround you’re outlining above, but it doesn’t work for me. In Google Chrome, I chose not to set it as default browser and it doesn’t say so in Chrome’s preferences. Nevertheless, the error remains… any ideas?

error window as displayed

See here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2053643

The reason I'm filing this here and not at Chrome is because it appears to work fine in KDE and Gnome, but not XFCE

Happens with both the Chrome blob from google on XUbuntu and Chromium compiled from source on gentoo
Browser version: 22.0.1229.79 (158531)

To Reproduce:
1. Install Chrome/Chromium version 22.*
2. Set Chrome/Chromium as the default browser
3. Start an instance of Chrome/Chromium
4a. Click a link a separate app (like chat or terminal that will open in Chrome/Chromium)
4b. Or you can try to start another instance of the browser while the current on is running using the "Application Menu" or other desktop file that runs the default web browser, not the Chrome/Chromium specific desktop file.

What Happens:
The link is properly followed, but an error box appears with no title. The text reads:
"Failed to execute default Web Browser.

Input/output error."

Judging from the KDE system monitor, the error is coming from "exo-helper-1"
command:
/usr/lib64/xfce4/exo-1/exo-helper-1 --launch WebBrowser http://google.com

Comment 1 john 2012-10-02 17:17:20 CEST

on Gentoo, the version of exo that is installed is:
xfce-base/exo-0.8.0
in case that helps.

Comment 2 john 2012-10-02 17:20:18 CEST

sorry, for more comments.

In Ubuntu the installed packages are:
exo-utils-0.6.2-4
libexo-helpers-0.6.2-4
libexo-common-0.6.2-4

Comment 3 blayder.r 2012-10-02 21:45:26 CEST

Linux 3.5.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 15 13:04:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
Archlinux 32-bit
Name           : exo
Version        : 0.8.0-1
I can confirm same bug with Google Chrome.

Comment 4 alianna117 2012-10-02 22:05:57 CEST

I can confirm the same bug too.
Gentoo x86_64, Chromium 22.0.1229.91, exo 0.8.0.

Comment 5 alianna117 2012-10-09 18:36:22 CEST

Updating Chromium to v.23.0.1271.22 fixed the problem

Comment 6 john 2012-10-12 19:39:53 CEST

Looks like it was fixed with the latest stable chromium release 22.0.1229.94
