5 line Metasploit install for 8.10

[clyphox]

Hi all, guess its upgrade time, i just installed 8.10 as _still_ 1 year in and ubuntu is the only distro that supports my hardware, congrats ubu

Anyway i just installed metasploit (current/trunk) and read some really outdated steps elsewhere on the forum. This is a simpler and effective install for those who care:

5 commands:

# 1 install the basics required for GTK+webrick+autopwn

apt-get install ruby libopenssl-ruby rdoc rubygems subversion libpango1-ruby libglib2-ruby libgdk-pixbuf2-ruby libgtk2-ruby libatk1-ruby libglade2-ruby sqlite


# 2 decide where u wanna keep the files, your choice.. i used :

mkdir /usr/local/share/framework-current && cd /usr/local/share/framework-current

# 3 sync the current "trunk" version

svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/

# 4 for those too lazy to make aliases/path adjustments, use symlinks

cd /usr/local/sbin
# NB... "rm msf*" if u installed these previously...

# 5 create the symlinks


for a in /usr/local/share/framework-current/trunk/msf* ; do ln -s $a; done



Its worth noting the permission of the files (and symlinks). I won't tell u how to fix these.

My logic is if you don't know how to fix permissions you should _not_ be running metasploit.. -rant

Good luck and play friendly ):P

Your directions gave me an error on the "do" line so you might want to fix that (or tell people how to in another post).

Edit: Got it working using this: http://blog.surfwerks.com/?p=81

Ohh i didn't know that the ubuntu rubygems version (currently 1.8.7) "isn't compatible" as that site says, then again I've not tested all the features like autopwn etc... but everything seems to work hehe... but then again -untested /me starts installing virtualbox+fast-track

Just tested the last line too btw, syntax is fine so pls post your error if u get one please.

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'


Dunno if I'm just missing something or what, but I keep fiddling with it and it keeps spitting that error at me.
