No Drivers available in msfconsole

[kartoffelbreiei]

Hello everyone,

thanks for the shiny new and cool distro. I really love the gnome flavour.
I just got one problem with it.

I have no driver in the msfconsole if i type db_driver i get the following output (on every machine)

root@bt:~# /pentest/exploits/framework3/msfconsole

It is not possible for me to build a driver with the "gem install" i have tried a lot - is this an issue or is it my fault?

Thanks very much and keep on that good work! Thanks a lot!

I can confirm that (32Bit and 64Bit KDE version)

the problem seems to be related with the included ruby installation. by default msfconsole uses ruby from $PATH but if you edit msfconsole to use "../ruby/bin/ruby" instead of "/usr/bin/env ruby" it has all the drivers available...

but you will then run into the next problem... included msf nmap doesn't work... (atleast for me)

Just start msfconsole from BT5 menu or as /usr/local/bin/msfconsole. everything will work.

That did it. Running directly from /pentest/exploits/framework3 didn't call the setenv scripts so stuff was missing. Thanks!

Fast-Track's autopwn runs into this problem when it calls msf and isn't functional.

Jeah this a at least the last problem! Thanks for the advise with the script!

Also if you want to work at runlevel 3
