Hi schmitty​ Thanks for reaching out. A couple of quick nudges to help you get moving:

  • Make sure you’re running Metasploit as root or the arp sweep won’t report properly.
  • Double-check that you’ve started the database services before launching msfconsole.
  • In the module, confirm that RHOSTS is set to the victim range, not your attacker IP.

That should point you in the right direction. 🙂
