 2.2) Install Ruby libraries that metasploit depend on

 shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$sudo gem install wirble sqlite3 bundler

Install Ruby libraries that metasploit depend

 3)(OPTIONAL) Install nmap

Install NMAP if you still don't use one on your system

 shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$sudo apt-get install nmap

Install nmap

4)Download metasploit framework from Github to your system

 shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$cd /opt

 shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git

Dowloading metasploit framework to /opt

 5) Install gems and version required by metasploit.

After finish downloading, go to metasploit folder

shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$cd /opt/metasploit-framework

shark_attack@Positive-Space:/opt/metasploit-framework$sudo bundle install

go to metasploit folder

install bundle

 NOTE: My system have problem installing the gems . It trigger  "girl friday" error as shown in the video. Please check my next post on how I resolve it .I will not share details how to do it in this post .You can see it in this video though :-)

 6)Run metasploit framework .

It might take few minutes for first time loading .

 shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$./msfconsole

run metasploit

Metasploit

 7)Create and connect the database with metasploit

7.1)Create user and postgres database . Make sure you remember what you type in when you create the user and database information.

shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$su -s

root@Positive-Space:~$su postgres

postgres@Positive-Space:/home/shark_attack$ createuser msf -P -S -R -D

postgres@Positive-Space:/home/shark_attack$ createdb -0 msf msf

creating user and db information

7.2)Connect database . msf4 folder will be in your home folder after you run metasploit for the first time.

Go to ./msf4 folder

shark_attack@Positive-Space:~$cd .msf4 

shark_attack@Positive-Space:~/.msf4$

.msf4 folder

7.3)Create a file name "database.yml" and key in the  detail informations that you have created before .Make sure all the details are correct including the password.

shark_attack@Positive-Space:~/.msf4$nano database.yml

 key in your database and user detail as how you configured .

 adapter: postgresql
 database: msf

 password: shark_attack
username: msf

 pool: 75
host: 127.0.0.1
 port: 5432

 timeout: 5

type the db and user info

save it

database.yml in msf4 folder

8)Test  and optimize metasploit search function

8.1)run metasploit framework  from your console and check the database status once it finish load .Remember to run as sudo . It might take few minutes to load the first time

shark_attack@Positive-Space:/opt/metasploit-framework$ sudo ./msfconsole

msf>db_status

checking database status

8.2) This step is just something that I notice doesn't work on my system in which ,whenever I  try to use the search  on metasploit, it will give an error  "Database not connected or cache not built,using slow search" .  It took few minutes to search anything.To resolve this issue, I rebuild the db cache by typing below command .

msf>db_rebuild_cache

Database not connected or cache not built

rebuilding the cache
