ADD a MSF user with normal privileges

Add a normal user for Metasploit called CentOS by Root.

# useradd -b /home/ -c ‘normal user‘ -m -u 1000 centos

Clone metasploit-framework

Let's get a lastest Metasploit copy from GitHub.

# cd /opt# git clone git://github.com:rapid7/metasploit-framework.git

Libraries Requirements

# yum update# yum upgrade# yum install -y patch libyaml-devel glibc-headers autoconf gcc-c++ glibc-devel patch readline-devel libffi-devel automake libtool bison sqlite-devel postgresql-devel libpcap-devel

Ruby env

Database Setup

# service postgresql initdb# service postgresql start# su postgres$ createuser msfuser -P   # set password: [msfpass]$ createdb -O msfuser msfdb$ exit$ cd /opt/metasploit-framework$ sudo mv config/database.yml.example config/database.yml$ cat config/database.ymlproduction: &pgsql  adapter: postgresql  database: msfdb  username: msfuser  password: msfpass  host: localhost  port: 5432  pool: 5  timeout: 5

When we start Metasploit, it does an error.

$  ./msfconsole[*] Starting the Metasploit Framework console...[-] Failed to connect to the database: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "msfuser"

What we need are to modify /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf file as follow:

local   all         all                               trusthost    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trusthost    all         all         ::1/128               trust

Start Metasploit-framework

$ cd /opt/metasploit-framework$ ./msfconsole
