Havoc C2 listeners – no event viewer logs n missing listener

Author: JustinBieber78943Created Apr 1, 2025Updated Nov 2, 2025

I'm experiencing persistent listener creation failures in Havoc C2 on Kali Linux . After configuring a listener and clicking "Start," the UI shows no errors but the listener never appears in the list. Server logs show the listener starting normally ([INFO] Starting HTTP listener...), but netcat confirms the port remains unused, and no connections are logged. I've ruled out firewalls (ufw disabled), SELinux (setenforce 0), and port conflicts (sudo ss -tulnp), and regenerated profiles without improvement. This silent failure suggests either an IPC breakdown between the UI and daemon or undocumented profile validation issues. As this prevents basic operational testing, I'm requesting urgent troubleshooting guidance - has this been replicated? Are there hidden configs or ways to enable deeper socket-level debugging?
