Playing around with Metasploit Unleashed Tutorial – Metasploit Database
Categories Hacker Shit, Random Musings, Security Stuff, Stuff To Learn
So, I’m going through the Offensive Security Metasploit course, and I just ran into my first issue: the database. Each time I would try it I kept getting the issue that it was not connected, and I could not get it to connect. After a bit of searching, I found the solution below.
root@MyPhuckingLaptop:~# msfdb delete
root@MyPhuckingLaptop:~# msfdb init
Creating database user 'msf'
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Creating databases 'msf' and 'msf_test'
Creating configuration file in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml
Creating initial database schema
root@MyPhuckingLaptop:~# cp /usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/database.yml /root/.msf4/
root@MyPhuckingLaptop:~# sudo service postgresql restart
root@MyPhuckingLaptop:~# sudo msfconsole
