00:05
>> Now we'll do a little bit more exploring
00:05
of the fundamentals of Metasploit.
00:05
One of the things to remember right after that is
00:05
information within your database
00:05
that's connected to a Metasploit,
00:05
then you need to do a few things.
00:05
One of them is to actually start up
00:05
>> the Postgres Service.
00:05
>> As root, I'm going to run service Postgres SQL.
00:05
I'm not sure how you want to pronounce that
00:05
>> and then we'll go ahead and start this up.
00:05
>> This will get the database running in the background
00:05
>> so that when we start our MSF console,
00:05
>> we'll be able to verify
00:05
that were connected to the database,
00:05
and that way when we capture
00:05
information from hosts or from scans or from
00:05
other activity it will be saved in
00:05
the database for later retrieval.
00:05
It will explore a little bit about some of
00:05
the capabilities of the database as far
00:05
as adding and removing information.
00:05
I see that my database has started.
00:05
I have a couple of options here.
00:05
One thing I can do is I can run
00:05
the Metasploit framework from
00:05
this nice little M shield icon here.
00:05
This will open up a separate shell.
00:05
It says a database is already configured,
00:05
so I don't need to do that step.
00:05
The first time you run Metasploit,
00:05
you would do have to run a DB Init command
00:05
and you'll notice that you get a nice little banner
00:05
every time you start Metasploit.
00:05
In fact, you can just type
00:05
the banner command again
00:05
>> if you want to just see some of the other options
00:05
>> that are out there.
00:05
>> There's, some of these are kind of humorous,
00:05
a little bit entertaining.
00:05
But anyway, I'm going to run my Help command,
00:05
and Help command gives me
00:05
a nice collection of all the different things I can do.
00:05
As we get through various portions of the course,
00:05
we'll get to explore more
00:05
>> and more of these possible options.
00:05
>> As I was starting to say,
00:05
if this is your first time running Metasploit
00:05
we have some database commands here.
00:05
I've already set up my database
00:05
and we'll take a peek of what's involved there.
