How to Install the Metasploit Framework


Metasploit is an extremely popular pentesting tool capable of enumeration, exploitation, and injecting shell code, and is a part of almost every hacking toolkit. So there's no way I could leave this out of our series on getting your Mac set up for hacking.
Luckily for those of us who use Apple machines, the install process is much less time-consuming than it used to be. Just a couple of years ago, I would have had to download all the required pieces and configure them manually. Now, the Metasploit Framework has an install package for macOS (previously called Mac OS X).
Of course, we could use the Metasploit that's in our Kali Linux VM we just installed, but I generally only use Kali when a tool is unavailable for Macs, such as Aircrack-ng. Plus, running tools directly on your main operating system is generally faster and easier than running them in a virtual machine.

Step 1Download the Metasploit Framework Installer

Our fist step is to download the Metasploit installer package from Rapid7.
There are different editions, such as Pro, Express, Community, and Framework. Express costs $5,000, and Pro about 6 times that, and it's probably safe to say most of us don't have that kind of cash lying around. While the Community edition is free, we want the command-line interface, Metasploit Framework.
To save you some time, here is the download for Mac. Once it has downloaded, open the package and follow the directions in the installer. You will be prompted to enter your password.

Step 2Configure Metasploit

Now we will need to configure Metasploit. Open a terminal window and change directories to the folder containing msfconsole (the main interface for the Metasploit Framework):
  • cd /opt/metasploit-framework/bin/
Next, run msfconsole with the command:
  • ./msfconsole
The first question asks if you want to add /opt/metasploit-framework/bin to your path. Select yes, so you can execute msf commands from any working directory.
Next, you will be asked if you want to set up a new database. Installing the database will allow us to list credentials, list hosts, and more—which is what we want.
Once the database is set up, msfconsole will drop you into the msfconsole! The install is complete.
Now let's check to see if the database is working:
  • db_status
As we can see, the database is connected and working.

Step 3Update Metasploit

Before diving into the basics of Metasploit, let's make sure it's up to date first. In a terminal window, execute the command:
  • msfupdate
You will be prompted for your root password. Once given, Metasploit will update.

Now Get Hacking!

Installing Metasploit on macOS has never been easier. With Metasploit installed and running, you should be able to get hacking right away, so make sure to search here on Null Byte for some good guides that use msfconsole. We've got plenty to keep you occupied for a long time.
Installing many other hacking tools on macOS is also a cinch—the inclusion of Ruby and Python with the OS really help with this. But it's not only the languages, having a POSIX-compliant backend means that porting software from Linux to Mac is easier. Apple products seem to have become more popular with developers and IT professionals, and the more IT professionals using them, the more ports we'll see!

Hacking Facebook,Twitter,Instagram Account Passwords with BruteForce After a long time, I Present you,  Faitagram . I was disappointed, no one replied to  this Anyway enough talking, Lets get right into the tutorial. Step 1 Getting Ready By the way, Faitagram stands for Fa(cebook)(tw)it(ter)(inst)agram. To clone the script, what you need to type in the terminal is : git clone  https://github.com/Juniorn1003/Faitagram.git/ —  Faitagram To clone the Faitagram script. After you cloned, type "ls" to see what is inside the folder. After you typed that, you would see 5 things : License, Readme, faitagram, setup.py and wlist. License  is just a MIT license,  Readme  has informations about the script on it,  faitagram  is the main source,  setup.py  is for the installing dependencies, and  wlist  is a wordlist. You have that? Now lets chmod the files so we can access it. chmod +x faitagram &...

Denial-of-Service (DoS) Tools & Techniques

Denial-of-Service (DoS) Tools & Techniques Welcome back, my fledgling hackers! Over the years, we have examined multiple ways to own, exploit, or compromise a system. On the other hand, we have not spent a lot of time on denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. For those of you who are new here, a denial of service is basically a simple attack that keeps the target system from operating as it should. In its simplest form, it uses up all of the system resources so that others can't connect. More sophisticated attacks will cause the system to crash or create a infinite loop that uses all of the system's CPU cycles. In general, a DoS attack is the easiest and least sophisticated type of attack. Some have gone so far as to say that an eight-year-old could participate in a DoS attack, and there is some truth to that statement since some tools make it as easy as putting in an IP address and hitting "Start." In recent years, DoS and DDoS attacks (the latter of whic...

Embed a Metasploit Payload in an Original .Apk File

Embed a Metasploit Payload in an Original .Apk File   Hi Fellas! I'm a new member to this community. Although I've been lurking around here for a while, I created an account and joined in recently. I've learned much from the creator here at NullByte, so I'm hoping to become a contributing member also, so that I can give something back. And that's why I decided to write this article sharing an script I discovered recently. I'm sure most of you, or at least those who have set a foot in the kingdom of hacking, have heard of Metasploit. From Wikipedia, The Metasploit Project is a computer security project that provides information about security vulnerabilities and aids in penetration testing and IDS signature development. Its best-known sub-project is the open source Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine. Other important sub-projects include the Opcode Database, shellcode archive and r...
