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 MacOS High Sierra & Kali Linux.

Both fail in the exact same place.

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

    The only way i was able to get past this so far was to change the module auxiliary/scanner/http/brute_dirs.rb to auxiliary/scanner/http/brute_dirs.rb.bak to remove it from being ran during the scan. – rubio Feb 11 '18 at 23:10

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

You can do that with the following command:

wmap_modules -r

Get out of metasploit, and run:

mv /usr/share/metasploit-framework/modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/brute_dirs.rb /usr/share/metasploit-framework/modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/brute_dirs.rb.bak

This worked for me and is based on the comment of @rubio above.
