Installing Metasploit Framework on Ubuntu 14.10

Hello to all,

In the previous post http://piu28.blogspot.in/2015/04/creating-virtual-machines-on-host.html i wrote about creating KVM virtual machines. Ok so now i have two running virtual machines (Ubuntu and Windows8.1) as shown in below figure:

Now i am gonna install "Metasploit Framework" on my Virtual Machine.

Metasploit Framework, created by HD Moore in 2003, is a software platform for developing, testing, and executing exploits. Before you begin with Metasploit, make sure the antivirus softwares and firewalls of your system are disabled. Now, Download the Metasploit Binary Installer from here: http://www.rapid7.com/products/metasploit/download.jsp

I am gonna install it on my Ubuntu Virtual Machine. So, i downloaded the Installer for 64-bit Linux.

1. Open the Terminal on the Ubuntu Virtual Machine. Change the Directory to where the Metasploit Binary Installer is residing. I am having it in my "Downloads" Folder. So, run the command

$ cd ~/Downloads

2. Change the mode of the installer to be executable by running the command:

$ chmod +x metasploit-latest-linux-x64-installer.run

3. Now, run the installer by running the command

$ sudo ./metasploit-latest-linux-x64-installer.run

After typing in your password of the machine, you will enter into the Metasploit Setup wizard.

Click Forward. Accept the agreement and again click Forward. Choose where to install metasploit and click Forward. Select yes to register Metasploit as a service. Verify that your machine does not have any antivirus and firewall applications running. Now Click Forward. Check the trust certificate box and click Forward. Click Forward again and the installation begins.

Hope it helps someone to initiate with Metasploit... Do let me know if it does..!!

Thankyou..!! :-)
