tmux usage

[ameygat]

Describe the bug

I am using emp3r0r v1.37.1 which is installed on Kali linux 2023 Q4 version.
I have generated a agent for Windows and ran in Windows 10 VM in network.
When I try to check if it has connected back using command ls_targets the UI get stuck and does not accept any command. (Not event Ctrl+C , exit, etc)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

start emp3r0r by using command $ emp3r0r

enter command -> ls_targets

Expected behavior

I think it should show the current targets and give command prompt for next command ??

Additional context

Pointers to any simple agent generation and connect back tutorial would be helpful. I have tried the Wiki but it just says follow the procedure on screen. Which is not working for me. I have tried to search for tutorial or videos about emp3r0r but nothing available.

Thanks for the detailed report. However, it looks like you are not familiar with tmux or the terminal user interface in general. For the "hang" issue, basically you are on a different tmux window which is dedicated for ls_targets output. To go back to the main tmux window you can just click on the tab name:

I will update the wiki to make it easier to follow.

Thanks a lot , much appreciate the quick response and I will wait for updated Wiki. My agent for Windows does not connect back, I am trying to investigate why. Simple IP to IP connection on same network with two virtual machines.
