How to update Metasploit in BackTrack 5 r2

OK now lets say you want to update Metasploit. This is by fat the EASIEST way I can figure out to demo it.

First go to Google or which ever search engine you prefer and search for "Metasploit"

Next go to download and choose the Linux version for you system.

Here is the download you should see.

Next open a console window and type the following, To help you out you can just select this text. Now remember in linux to cut and paste into a console window you need to add the "SHIFT" key.

So to copy:

SHIFT + CTRL + C



So to paste:

SHIFT + CTRL + V

chmod u+x /root/metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run
./metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run


This should launch the install process. The proceeding screens show what you should see. For 90% use the defaults.

Now here I received this one error message.

Just change the port number to some obscure number which no service should be usigng. Here I choose 23465.

All Done




Happy Hacking
