Change BeEF tool default password

BeEF is a browser attack framework installed by default on Kali Linux. The default username and password for the tool are beef. In the new version, you cannot log in to the service using the default password. Among them, there are two ways to modify passwords, namely, modifying configuration files and terminal mode. These two methods are described separately below.

1. modify the configuration file

The default configuration file for the BeEF tool is/etc/beef-xss/config.yaml. In this profile, find the authentication information section. As follows:

credentials:

user: beef #User name

passwd: beef #Password

As you can see here, the default username and password are beef. At this point, the user can modify it to other commands and save the configuration file.

2. terminal mode

Users can also change passwords directly in terminal mode. Execute the command as follows:

beef-xss

[-] You are using the Default credentials

[-] (Password must be different from "beef")

[-]please type a new password for the beef user: #Enter a new password

At this point, after setting a new password, you can successfully launch the BeEF framework. The password entered is not visible.
