Error when connecting using an implant

[Mitul16]

I have gathered linux.enumerate.creds.private_key for a user on the victim system
Trying to connect using the host hash raises the exception rich.errors.LiveError

We have one progress bar created in pwncat/__main__.py

230                 with Progress(
231                     "triggering implant",
232                     "•",
233                     "{task.fields[status]}",
234                     transient=True,
235                     console=console,
236                 ) as progress:
...
254                         try:
255                             session = implant.trigger(manager, target)
...

And another progress bar is created in pwncat/platform/linux.py

700     def get_host_hash(self) -> str:
...
711         with self.session.task("calculating host hash") as task:
712             try:
713                 self.session.update_task(
714                     task, status="retrieving hostname (hostname -f)"
715                 )

---

Also, PlatformError is not caught in pwncat/facts/__init__.py

366                 # Connect via SSH
367                 session = manager.create_session(
368                     "linux",
369                     host=target.public_address[0],
370                     user=user.name,
371                     identity=filp.name,
372                 )
373             except ChannelError as exc:  # PlatformError
374                 manager.log(
375                     f"[yellow]warning[/yellow]: {self.source} implant failed; removing implant types."
376                 )

Should we pass host hash to Session(...)?

• we are using host hash to connect, so we don't need to re-calculate it. Do we need to?

Current SSH is buggy, I think you are still waiting for the merge at paramiko

• some characters are printed in the output at random while transitioning

The help command output...fixed by 5477cfa

The help command output isn't consistent due to the inconsitent use of Docstrings

# command 1
class Command(CommandDefinition):
    """
    This command gives you wings...
    """

# command 2
class Command(CommandDefinition):
    """This command gives you `root` :p"""
