Easy Metasploit Install on Windows Subsystem for Linux

gistfile1.txt

Steps to install Metasploit on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux

1.) Enable Developer Mode
    C:\> reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock" /t REG_DWORD /f /v "AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense" /d "1"

2.) Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
    C:\> DISM /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

3.) Reboot

4.) Type "bash" at cmd line to get into Windows Subsystem for Linux and create a new password for your user.

5.) Install Metasploit
    test@Desktop:/mnt/c$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && chmod 755 msfinstall && ./msfinstall

to me on one of the many machines it gave me problems with the classic sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework (I don't know why, since on other machines it worked very well, as always), anyway with this script the installation was successful, thanks

I got this :---

First need to enable Linux sub system in control panel in windows visit YouTube video for that.

sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework Did the job
it worked but said dkpg file or something wasnt working and now it just cant find the metasploit-frameworks at all

what about this command
sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

thanks

If you go root, you can circumvent the sudo glitches.

WARNING: ROOT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW POWERFUL IT IS.
(All disclaimers flapping in the breeze, including Your Mileage Might Vary.)

First set a root password with sudo passwd root,
You will be asked to enter sudo's password and then create and confirm a new password for root.

From now on to login as root, you can just su -.

And finally, to address the metasploit install issues, you will realize you no longer need sudo.

Just run this command and watch the magic unfold!

apt-get install metasploit-framework postgresql

😎

Try first sudo apt-get update , it works for me :)

All of you please consider this before using apt-get install metasploit-framework
This will definitely work?

Oh yep. It will

I phase the same issue

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

these 3 commands help me to solve this problem

Yah

I phase the same issue

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

Yah! It solves installation

how does one run the ".run" in the WSL2.

how does one run the ".run" in the WSL2.

OOh i just did it

#chmod +x metasploit-latest-linux-x64-installer.run

./metasploit-latest-linux-x64-installer.run

The above did the magic.

I phase the same issue

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

these 3 commands help me to solve this problem

Nice, thank you

Doesn't work for me

1. Sudo apt update && apt upgrade
2. sudo apt install metasploit-framework

Error:
Unable to locate package metasploit-framework

@Deltwin

try this
sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libpq5 libpq-dev libreadline5 libsqlite3-dev libpcap-dev git-core autoconf postgresql pgadmin3 curl zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libyaml-dev curl zlib1g-dev gawk bison libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev libtool sqlite3 libgmp-dev gnupg2 dirmngr

on ubuntu also you need to run
sudo gem install bundler

Above all of these commands nothing is working for me

use ubuntu instead, kali has some weird issues with apt on wsl2
