Metasploit is one of the best pentesting tool for exploitation and injecting shell codes and it’s part of almost every hacking toolkit. So today we’re going to make our Mac setup for hacking. Now the Metasploit Framework has an install package for macOS (previously called Mac OS X).
Metasploit is an open source cyber-security project that allows infosec professionals to use different penetration testing tools to discover remote software vulnerabilities. It also functions as an exploit module development platform.
As an Ethical Hacker, you will be using “Kali Distribution” which has the Metasploit community version embedded in it along with other ethical hacking tools. But if you want to install Metasploit as a separate tool, you can easily do so on systems that run on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. The Metasploit Project is a computer security project that provides information on vulnerabilities, helping in the development of penetration tests and IDS signatures. Metasploit is. May 01, 2016 In this article we will be talking about the very basics of Metasploit and the Metasploit commands used in the command line interface. Basic commands: search, use, back, help, info and exit. Exploit commands: set to set variables and show to show the exploit options, targets, payloads, encoders, nops and the advanced and evasion options. Exploit execution commands: run and exploit to run.
Of course, you can get Metasploit and other hacking tools pre-installed on Kali Linux, but I generally prefer installing tools on your MacOS it generally run faster then using on VM, I only use Kali Linux on VM when there’s no tools available for MacOS.
So, let’s get started!
First you need to download a package here, Once it is downloaded, open the package and follow steps to properly install metasploit.
Click Continue and install metasploit.
Now, that you’re down with installation it’s time to configure your metasploit installation, to do that follow me. First open up your terminal and change the directories to that folder where you install metasploit.
cd /opt/metasploit-framework/bin/
Next, run msfconsole with the command:
./msfconsole

You will be asked if you want to set up a new database. Installing the database will allow us to list credentials, list hosts, and more—which is what we want.
Once the database is set up, msfconsole will drop you into the msfconsole! The install is complete.
How To Use Metasploit
Now let’s check to see if the database is working:
Metasploit Mac Os
db_status
As you can see database is working and connected, and your done installing metasploit.
First thing to make sure after installing is update, keep your metasploit updated by running this command.

Installing Metasploit on MacOS never been so easier, Before we used to run bunch of commands and setting things manually now it’s installing a setup and done!
