Re: uninitialized constant Msf::Encoder::Type::PrintfUtil

Ok, problem solved. A second copy of MSF3 was present in
/opt/metasploit3/msf3. For some reason, even though I was starting
msfconsole using ./msfconsole this other copy was still interfering somehow
(it wasn't present in the path).

Anyway, as I thought, PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair).

Thanks again,

Chris

I tried what you suggested, but in my SVN copy the file

doesn't seem to exist.

I deleted the entire framework and re-downloaded via SVN and the same
issue.
(SVN 10838)

I checked the available encoders (show encoders) and cmd/printf_util
isn't
displayed in the list. However if you do a set ENCODER cmd/ and tab
autocomplete, cmd/printf_util is shown as an option (along with
printf_php_mq).

FWIW, I just tried svn update on backtrack and I was unable to
reproduce this issue.  Maybe you're not running the copy of Metasploit
that you updated .. .  This can happen on BackTrack due to some of
their packaging/shipping choices for Metasploit.

Try to run "ruby msfconsole" or "./msfconsole" instead of "msfconsole"
..
