Today, do a bit msf connection configuration database, middle encountered some pit point here is not described in detail, beginning correct mode of operation.
First postgresql be configured to facilitate the connection.
root @ kali: ~ # service postgresql start # start the database root @ kali: ~ # su postgres # Set the user and the database postgres@kali:/root$ createuser msf -P Enter password for new role: Enter it again: postgres@kali:/root$ createdb --owner=msf4 msf postgres@kali:/root$ exit exit root @ times: ~ # root @ kali: ~ # msfconsole # test the database connection status ### ### msf > db_connect msf:password@localhost/msf [*] Rebuilding the module cache in the background... msf > db_status [*] postgresql connected to msf msf > search 2015-0531 [!] Module database cache not built yet, using slow search # here to wait a bit until normal, restart the application may consider closing msf > exit
Automatic concatenation /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml accomplished by configuration files, can be done by copying database.yml.example set and modify the content.
root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# cp database.yml.example database.yml root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# vi database.yml root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# cat database.yml # Please only use postgresql bound to a TCP port. # Only postgresql is supportable for metasploit-framework # these days. (No SQLite, no MySQL). # # To set up a metasploit database, follow the directions hosted at: # http://r-7.co/MSF-DEV#set-up-postgresql development: &pgsql adapter: postgresql database: msf # modify here username: msf # here password: password # and here host: localhost port: 5432 pool: 5 # here to see the mood timeout: 5 # You will often want to seperate your databases between dev # mode and prod mode. Absent a production db, though, defaulting # to dev is pretty sensible for many developer-users. production: &production <<: *pgsql # Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and # re-generated from your development database when you run "rake". # Do not set this db to the same as development or production. # # Note also, sqlite3 is totally unsupported by Metasploit now. test: <<: *pgsql database: metasploit_framework_test username: metasploit_framework_test password: ___________________________
Finally, as to restart msf can, of course, you can also automatically open configuration database
root@kali:~# systemctl start postgresql
root@kali:~# systemctl enable postgresql
root @ kali: ~ # msfconsole # msf look into the effect
