Before we start, we need to be sure that we have started the BeEF service and are capable of accessing http://127.0.0.1:3000/ui/panel (with beef/beef as login credentials).
- The default BeEF service in Kali Linux doesn't work, so we cannot simply run beef-xss to get BeEF running. Instead, we need to run it from the directory in which it was installed, as shown here:
cd /usr/share/beef-xss/
./beef
- Now, browse to http://127.0.0.1:3000/ui/panel and use beef as both the username and password. If that works, we are ready to continue.
