Install metasploit console

[Aerosol]

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

then, we have to install the dependencies needed for msf

apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev  libssl-dev libpq5 libpq-dev libreadline5 libsqlite3-dev libpcap-dev openjdk-7-jre subversion git-core autoconf postgresql pgadmin3 curl zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev vncviewer libyaml-dev ruby1.9.3

we have now to install the required ruby libraries for msf

gem install wirble pg sqlite3 msgpack activerecord redcarpet rspec simplecov yard bundler

now, let`s install nmap, it is one of msf`s external tools for scanning.

mkdir ~/nmap;cd ~/nmap
svn co https://svn.nmap.org/nmap
cd nmap
./configure
make;make install;make clean

now with nmap installed, we can create an user and db for postgresql

su postgres

now, let`s create the user and the database that msf will use from database.yml.

createuser msf -P -S -R -D

createdb -O msf msf

now we can exit.

now, let`s download the latest metasploit and install it

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git

cd metasploit-framework

now, let`s create links to the commands

bash -c 'for MSF in $(ls msf*); do ln -s /opt/metasploit-framework/$MSF /usr/local/bin/$MSF;done'

ln -s /opt/metasploit-framework/armitage /usr/local/bin/armitage

from inside msf folder, run this

bundle install

to install the supported gem versions

create the database.yml in /opt/metasploit-framework/

nano /opt/metasploit-framework/database.yml

and paste this inside

production:
   adapter: postgresql
   database: msf
   username: msf
   password: 
   host: 127.0.0.1
   port: 5432
   pool: 75
   timeout: 5

oh and provide the password you entered earlier.

now, create and eviroment variable

echo export MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG=/opt/metasploit-framework/database.yml >> /etc/profile

source /etc/profile

we still have to install the pcaprub

cd /opt/metasploit-framework/external/pcaprub

ruby extconf.rb && make && make install

it is used in port scanning

run

msfconsole

Have fun with the great penetration testing tool!
