Just came across this article...

Here is what Metasploit is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasploit_Project

Has anyone tried to install Metasploit on the N900? I recently tried installing it following these instructions, and the console seemed to have worked:

http://www.knownokia.ca/2010/01/metasploit-on-n900.html

However different instructions are offered at the official site at, which did not seem to work for me (probably my fault):

http://www.metasploit.com/redmine/pr...i/Install_N900

In case the first listed website disappears, the text from it is below:

"Firstly, you’ll need to add the extras-testing and extras-devel repository. If you don’t know how to do that, I suggest you cup both hands and place your head inside the void – you lose at the game of life. Stop crying, the above links will tell you how to activate.

Once you’ve updated your package list to include the above repos, you’ll need to install libopenssl-ruby (libopenssl-ruby1.8 might work too). You’ll also need the following ruby packages, I’ve modified and optified them to save as much space as possible:

ruby_1.8.5_armel-optified.deb

rubygems_0.9.2_armel.deb

ruby-sqlite3_1.2.1_armel.deb

Install them using ‘dpkg’ and then you’ll need to sym/softlink the libcrypto and libssl shared objects, so that any packages compiled against 0.9.7 that don’t force fault on explicit versions, will still work.

ln –s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

ln –s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7

Now, if you have subversion installed, you can checkout the metasploit daily source snapshot. If you don’t use SVN, well – I’ve trimmed down, streamlined and modified a few files from the most recent svn co; no aux, no externals, no docs, no msfweb data at all.

msf.tar.bz2

H.D Moore has advised me that the metasploit team will be looking into embedded functionality in the near future. He recently got an N900 of his own so - boom, there goes the neighborhood.

If you don’t want to use db functionality, skip installing ruby-sqlite3 and save yourself the 100KB of space. If you do checkout from svn, you’ll run into a lot of stdout’d errors due to version inconsistencies with rails, sqlite and ruby. Annoying, but merely warnings. Fix it yourself by patching out the deprecation stuff, or use my tarball.

Now, go do whatever it is you do with these awesome tools"

This is exciting!

How do i install the msf.tar.bz2 file,,,, can some one break down the instructions a little more for me i an a little new.

I had trouble with the n900 tar program, i just don't know the commands too well. I unzipped it on my linux machine, transferred it to my phone, and then moved the folder over to

WARNING: it did take a while 24min to move the folder with the mv command.


I did get it to run but it takes a while for Metasploit to get running.

hi mukati, im guessing you dint install the chroot program,
because in that chroot they included tar-gnu which refering to bzip2 this file basically need command like:

but here im offering simple method for you todo this.

copy the file to correct path and extract it like this.

done.
