Briefly describe your issue below:
Metasploit throws error “Auxiliary failed: option RHOSTS failed to validate” when trying to add hosts from file. I tried same feature on kali linux and it worked, so i don’t expect the problem to be in syntax or the file itself.
Steps to reproduce:
echo 192.168.2.2 >> testfile
echo 192.168.2.3 >> testfile
msfconsole
use auxiliary/scanner/vnc/vnc_none_auth
set rhosts file:/home/user/testfile
run
I tried it on standalone version and on the virtual machine as well, without any luck.
