Installing Metasploit on BackTrack2

Warning: BackTrack 3.0 users should see Metasploit3/InstallBackTrack3 instead.

Metasploit 3.0 is included by default in BackTrack 2.0. All pre-requisites have been installed for msfconsole, msfcli and msfweb, but the msfgui interface depends on the following extra packages. Download the LZM packages from the links below and run the following commands:

# lzm2dir ruby-gtk2-0.16.0.lzm /
# lzm2dir ruby-libglade2-0.16.lzm /

Once these have been installed, you can launch msfgui with:

 # cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
 # svn update
 # ./msfgui
