Getting Error while running Private Collaborator Server

Santosh | Last updated: Feb 10, 2021 05:00PM UTC

Any reason why Im not able to poll to the private collaborator server root# java -jar burpsuite_pro.jar --collaborator-server --collaborator-config=myconfig.config 2021-02-10 22:10:31.305 : Using

Hi Santosh, I have just replied to the email that you also sent us about this issue but, for completeness i will include the same response here: From the error message it sounds like the Collaborator cannot bind to some of the configured ports required to run its services. Firstly, do you have any other processes using these ports on this machine? Secondly, are you using a linux based machine? If so, you may need to run the Collaborator with root privileges in order to bind to the default ports.

I do not have any other ports listening , its a MacOS and running with root , I have attached config file used in the mail i sent

Santosh | Last updated: Feb 11, 2021 10:27AM UTC

I meant do not have other processes using the same ports

Hi Santosh, The errors being shown are fairly explicit in there being issues binding with some of the ports that you have configured for the Collaborator services. If you run netstat or lsof on your Collaborator machine can you confirm which ports are currently in use?
