How to Install Metasploit in Ubuntu.

Installation on Ubuntu Linux

The Metasploit Framework is well-supported on the Ubuntu platform. The following instructions should also apply to Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Debian.

If these instructions do not work for your version of Ubuntu, please try the Generic Linux instructions instead.
Dependencies¶

Install the Ruby dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby libopenssl-ruby libyaml-ruby libdl-ruby libiconv-ruby libreadline-ruby irb ri rubygems

Install the Subversion client:

$ sudo apt-get install subversion

In order to build the native extensions (pcaprub, lorcon2, etc), the following packages need to be installed:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep ruby
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev libpcap-dev

Database support¶

In order to use the database functionality, RubyGems along with the appropriate drivers must be installed:

$ sudo apt-get install rubygems libsqlite3-dev
$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby

Or for MySQL:

$ sudo apt-get install rubygems libmysqlclient-dev
$ sudo gem install mysql

Framework¶

Once the dependencies have been installed, download the Unix tarball from the download page and run the following commands:

$ tar xf framework-3.X.tar.gz
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/metasploit3
$ sudo cp -a msf3/ /opt/metasploit3/msf3
$ sudo chown root:root -R /opt/metasploit3/msf3
$ sudo ln -sf /opt/metasploit3/msf3/msf* /usr/local/bin/

Extensions¶

The framework includes a few native Ruby extensions that must be compiled in order to use certain types of modules.

To enable raw socket modules:

$ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
$ sudo bash
# cd /opt/metasploit3/msf3/external/pcaprub/
# ruby extconf.rb
# make && make install

To enable WiFi modules:

$ sudo bash
# cd /opt/metasploit3/msf3/external/ruby-lorcon2/
# svn co https://802.11ninja.net/svn/lorcon/trunk lorcon2
# cd lorcon2
# ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
# cd ..
# ruby extconf.rb
# make && make install

Updates¶

The Metasploit Framework is updated daily with the latest exploits, payloads, features, and bug fixes. To update your installation of the framework:

$ sudo svn update /opt/metasploit3/msf3/

This can also be installed into the root user's crontab:

$ sudo crontab -e -u root # enter the line below
1 * * * * /usr/bin/svn update /opt/metasploit3/msf3/ >> /var/log/msfupdate.log 2>&1

You are advice to DOWNLOAD Latest Ruby 1.9 to avoid error in certain ruby script.

$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1
