Kali Linux 2.0 Tutorials : Metasploit First Run

Metasploit Framework First Run on Kali Linux 2.0 :

To run metasploit on kali linux 2.0 for the first time  there are a couple of steps that need to be taken in order to get Metasploit up and running with database support.

Start the Kali PostgreSQL Service

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

service postgresql start

Initialise the Metasploit PostgreSQL Database

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

msfdb init

 

Launch msfconsole in Kali

Now that the PostgreSQL service is up and running and the database is initialized, you can launch msfconsole.

msfconsole
