Python Meterpreter method core_channel_eof resulted in error: #1

[dwelch-r7]

While running the python meterpreter in debug mode and getting a session a message reading [-] method core_channel_eof resulted in error: #1 would continuously print in the terminal, not sure why I'm happy to take a look when I get a chance

I'm not sure if this is something we should bother fixing, as it appears to be expected behaviour.

Tim's right, as I understand it that's used as a sort of ping functionality to ensure the Meterpreter is still alive and responsive. When debugging the Python Meterpreter, it can be a little alarming. We could handle that case specifically, to avoid logging an error. In the future, there should probably be a dedicated ping command to avoid abusing this one.
