Welcome to our guide on how to install Metasploit Framework on Fedora 29. Metasploit Framework is the opensource community version of the most popular penetration testing and system security assesement software platform, Metasploit. We covered the installation of the Metasploit combined version on Ubuntu 18.04<\/a> in our previous guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Metasploit Framework on Fedora 29<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The release of nightly build version of Metasploit which provides repositories for various Linux systems has made the installation Metasploit framework on Fedora 29 a very easy process. As a result, you don’t have to worry about Metasploit framework dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update your system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, update and upgrade your Fedora 29 server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

dnf update\ndnf upgrade<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once the upgrade is done, install Metasploit framework. Rapid7 provides MSF installer script that eases this process. Hence, execute the command below to install MSF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/rapid7\/metasploit-omnibus\/master\/config\/templates\/metasploit-framework-wrappers\/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \\\n> chmod 755 msfinstall && \\\n> .\/msfinstall<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The script will basically create the Rapid 7 YUM repository and install the Metasploit framework package and all the required dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the installation is complete, run the msfconsole<\/code> command to start Metasploit framework. Do not run this command as root user. Instead switch to a standard user and execute it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
su - amos\nmsfconsole<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
When run, it will prompt you to set up MSF database. Therefore type yes<\/code> at the prompt and press enter to setup the database. Also, create an initial MSF web service account username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the setup completes, MSF launches automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSF is now setup and is ready to perform penetration testing as well as other system security checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To verify that MSF is connected to the Metasploit REST API instance created above;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
msf5 > db_status \n[*] Connected to remote_data_service: (https:\/\/localhost:8080). Connection type: http. Connection name: local-https-data-service.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Noe that to execute exploits and payloads, you need to disable firewalld and SELinux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service\nsudo systemctl disable firewalld.service\nsudo systemctl mask  firewalld.service<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Disable SELinux and reboot the server for the changed to effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo sed -i 's\/=enforcing\/=disabled\/g' \/etc\/selinux\/config\nsudo systemctl reboot<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to play with MSF and explore its potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
