Upgrade glibc so Click on yes. You can change options by pressing “TAB” key, and for selecting press “ENTER” Key.

I have installed Metasploit successfully. I used command msfconsole to run the Metasploit framework but no success.

I go the following error “You may need to uninstall or upgrade bundler”

You can see in the following image:

[email protected]:~#msfconsole [*] Bundler failed to load and returned this error: 'cannot load such file -- bundler/setup' [*] You may need to uninstall or upgrade bundler [email protected]:~# 

How to solve upgrade bundler error in Kali Linux

If you are getting an error “You may need to uninstall or upgrade bundler” after installation of Metasploit then you can use the following steps:

Step 1: Go to /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ by using cd command. As you can see in the following image.

[email protected]:~#cd /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ [email protected]:/usr/share/metasploit-framework# 

Step 2: Install bundler: You can use the followoing command to install and upgrade bundler.

Start, Restart, and Stop Metasploit services:

You have finished the installation of Metasploit, the next task on how to use Metasploit in Kali Linux. It is quite simple. You must follow the 2 steps:

Before the launch Metasploit, it is necessary to start Metasploit service.

Sometimes, It is possible the services you are going to start, running previously. before the start, the Metasploit service first checks the status of service.

If the service is not running then you can start, restart and stop Metasploit by following commands.

#service metasploit status

#service metasploit restart

If the User start the Metasploit service first time, He have to start postgresql service first similar metasploit postgresql service can be start, restart, and stop by following commands

#service postgresql restart

#service postgresql status.

Launching Metasploit in Kali Linux

Metasploit has four working interface for the user, Pentester can use variety of ways to access Metasploit. For the learner who don’t have solid command over control of Metasploit, It is recommended to use graphical interface. The Graphical User Interface is accessed by selecting “Measploit Community/Pro” from the main menu:

Applications > Kali Linux > Exploitation > Metasploit > Metasploit Community/Pro

By default the user will used a web browser with URL address: https://localhost:3790/ . When the Metasploit runs in to browser, the tester will be prompt with an error message “Connection is Untrusted”. It happens because Metasploit don’t have a valid security certification. Click on “I Understand the Risks”, Click on the next option “Add Exception”. When new screen will be opened, click on the “Confirm Security Exception” to continue process.

Update the Database for Metasploit:

Metasploit is developed by Rapid7, There are limited updates for community users. It is necessary to update the Metasploit database before use every time. Metasploit database can be updated by using following command.

User can update metasploit by GUI interface. If a pentester running web interface, Select “software Update” option from the upper right-hand side of Web page of Metasploit. Next screen will be displayed select “Check for Updates”. Metasploit will start download and install updates on the system if available. It is recommended that service of Metasploit be restarted. Restart the browser then reopen the Metasploit Web Intrface.

How to install metasploit kali linux

In keeping with the Kali Linux Network Services Policy, no network services, including database services, run on boot as a default, so there are a couple of steps that need to be taken in order to get Metasploit up and running with database support.

Quick way

You an have everything up and running, by starting the PostgreSQL service and set it up just by doing:

[email protected]:~$ sudo msfdb init [+] Starting database [+] Creating database user 'msf' [+] Creating databases 'msf' [+] Creating databases 'msf_test' [+] Creating configuration file '/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml' [+] Creating initial database schema [email protected]:~$ 

You can even take it one step further by doing sudo msfdb run and it will do the same as the above, as well as start msfconsole afterwards

MSFDB

To help interactive with various parts of the Metasploit configuration there is msfdb :

[email protected]:~$ sudo msfdb Manage the metasploit framework database msfdb init # start and initialize the database msfdb reinit # delete and reinitialize the database msfdb delete # delete database and stop using it msfdb start # start the database msfdb stop # stop the database msfdb status # check service status msfdb run # start the database and run msfconsole [email protected]:~$ 

Please note: this is a different version of msfdb that is shipped with the default project

Start the Kali PostgreSQL Service

Start the Kali PostgreSQL Service

Metasploit uses PostgreSQL as its database so it needs to be launched first:

[email protected]:~$ sudo msfdb start [+] Starting database [email protected]:~$ 

You can verify that PostgreSQL is running by checking the output of ss -ant and making sure that port 5432 is listening, or using sudo msfdb status :

[email protected]:~$ sudo msfdb status ● postgresql.service - PostgreSQL RDBMS Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (exited) since Sun 2021-02-07 02:15:42 EST; 4s ago Process: 157089 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 157089 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Feb 07 02:15:42 kali systemd[1]: Starting PostgreSQL RDBMS. Feb 07 02:15:42 kali systemd[1]: Finished PostgreSQL RDBMS. COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME postgres 157071 postgres 5u IPv6 647182 0t0 TCP localhost:5432 (LISTEN) postgres 157071 postgres 6u IPv4 647183 0t0 TCP localhost:5432 (LISTEN) UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD postgres 157071 1 1 02:15 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/13/main -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.con [i] No configuration file found [email protected]:~$ 

Initialize the Metasploit PostgreSQL Database

With PostgreSQL up and running, we next need to create and initialize the msf database:

[email protected]:~$ sudo msfdb init [i] Database already started [+] Creating database user 'msf' [+] Creating databases 'msf' [+] Creating databases 'msf_test' [+] Creating configuration file '/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml' [+] Creating initial database schema [email protected]:~$ 

Launch msfconsole in Kali

Now that the PostgreSQL service is up and running and the database is initialized, you can launch msfconsole and verify database connectivity with the db_status command as shown below:

[email protected]:~$ msfconsole -q msf6 > msf6 > db_status [*] Connected to msf. Connection type: postgresql. msf6 >
