I show you the steps that I followed to install Metasploit on Mavericks, with some solutions that I have used to solve some mistakes that I encountered during the installation.
First of all download and install Command Line Tools (OSX 10.9):
Install Java Development Kit (JDK) from: from:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
Install “Homebrew” :
ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)”
echo PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH >> ~/.bash_profile
Install “NMAP”:
brew install nmap
Install “wget”:
brew install wget
Install “git”:
brew install git
To verify the version of gcc and g++ type:
gcc -v
g++ -v
If not present, install gcc:
brew tap homebrew/versions brew install gcc47 –use-gcc
Check with “brew doctor” that there are no problems:
brew doctor
If you get the following error:
Error: No such file or directory – /usr/local/Cellar
Type:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Cellar
sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local
Then run:
brew update
Install “Ruby” version 1.9.3:
brew install homebrew/versions/ruby193
To check the version:
ruby -v
If you want to install “Ruby” with rvm you can proceed as follows:
curl -L get.rvm.io | bashrvm get headrvm requirementsrvm install 1.9.3 rvm use 1.9.3rvm default 1.9.3
If during compilation it’s presented to you an error about gcc4.7, you can try to solve it with:
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 –enable-sharedrvm use 1.9.3 –default
Install Ruby Msgpack:
port install msgpack
Install gem MSGPACK:
gem install msgpack
Set to use VNCViewer:
echo ‘#!/usr/bin/env bash’>> /usr/local/bin/vncviewer
echo open vnc://\$1 >> /usr/local/bin/vncviewer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vncviewer
Install the open source database “postgresql”:
brew install postgresql –without-ossp-uuid
Create a user with the name “MSF” (you will be prompted to enter and confirm a password, it will need us to configure the database):
createuser msf -P -h localhost
Create a database called msf:
createdb -O msf msf -h localhost
Install with “gem” other packages that will be used with MSF:
gem install pg sqlite3 msgpack activerecord redcarpet rspec simplecov yard bundler
Install “Metasploit”:
cd /usr/local/share/
git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git
cd metasploit-framework
for MSF in $(ls msf*); do ln -s /usr/local/share/metasploit-framework/$MSF /usr/local/bin/$MSF;done
sudo chmod go+w /etc/profile
sudo echo export MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG=/usr/local/share/metasploit-framework/database.yml >> /etc/profile
Go into the Metasploit directory and type:
sudo bundle install
Install Ruby gem:
gem install pg sqlite3 msgpack hpricot
Configure the database just created:
vim /usr/local/share/metasploit-framework/database.yml
Open with “vim” the file database.yml and type:
production:
adapter: postgresql
database: msf
username: msf
password: (enter the password previously typed)
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 5432
pool:75
timeout: 5
Save and exit:
esc:wq
Type:
source /etc/profile
source ~/.bash_profile
Run Metasploit:
sudo msfconsole
Done
