Metasploit framework via HTTP service

There are metasploit framework running in background by msfrpcd that act like a internal server and msfrpc client running in web interface for using metasploit console.

Requirement

• Linux operating system
• Nodejs (to run web interface)

Installation

Installing Dependencies

Make sure it is a latest packages on system.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install the dependent packages that Metasploit framework need.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libpq5 libpq-dev libreadline5 libsqlite3-dev 
libpcap-dev git-core autoconf postgresql pgadmin3 curl zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev vncviewer 
libyaml-dev curl zlib1g-dev

Installing Ruby using RVM

Because Metasploit coding by Ruby and install with Rubygem.

curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
RUBYVERSION=$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/master/.ruby-version -q -O - )
rvm install $RUBYVERSION
rvm use $RUBYVERSION --default
ruby -v

Installing Nmap

External tools work with Metasploit framework for scanning target.

mkdir ~/Development
cd ~/Development
git clone https://github.com/nmap/nmap.git
cd nmap 
./configure
make
sudo make install
make clean

Configuring Postgre SQL Server

Switch to be postgres user so we can create db for Metasploit framework.

sudo -s
su postgres

Create user to work with db (the name must as same as in config file). In config file we use msfdev and create db msf_dev_db owned by msfdev.

createuser msfdev -P -S -R -D
createdb msf_dev_db -O msfdev
exit
exit

Installing Metasploit framework

We download the latest Metasploit framework via Git.

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git
sudo chown -R `whoami` /opt/metasploit-framework
cd metasploit-framework

Install using bundler the required gem and versions.

cd metasploit-framework

# If using RVM set the default gem set that is create when you navigate in to the folder
rvm --default use ruby-${RUBYVERSION}@metasploit-framework

gem install bundler
bundle install

If want to run a command in any user under the Metasploit folder then create a link by this command.

cd metasploit-framework
sudo bash -c 'for MSF in $(ls msf*); do ln -s /opt/metasploit-framework/$MSF /usr/local/bin/$MSF;done'

Create the databases.yml file that will be contain the configuration parameters used by Metasploit framework.

sudo nano /opt/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml

Copy the YAML entries and make sure the password that you entered

production:
 adapter: postgresql
 database: msf_dev_db
 username: msfdev
 password: (your password as same as config file)
 host: 127.0.0.1
 port: 5432
 pool: 75
 timeout: 5

Create environment variable so it is loaded by msfconsole when running and load the variable in to your currnet shell.

sudo sh -c "echo export MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG=/opt/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml >> /etc/profile"

source /etc/profile

RUN!!

we run the Metasploit to test the system.

msfconsole

Usage

Metasploit framework

We run Metasploit framework with msfrpcd that metasploit rpc daemon to open service waiting client to connect back.

#change directory to Metasploit framework folder and running with root permission
sudo ./msfrpcd -U <username as same as config> -P <password as same as config> -a localhost -f

Metasploit-webapp

We run web interface with Node.js after your download this repo via Git.

node ./bin/www

Open web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 then interface will appear.
