That is a mean thing to say. Everyone started out at square one.

@mukati, u have to unzip and extract the tarball, there are guides to do this on the internet. But im pretty sure its going be more complicated than just unzipping and running a binary, if the guide does not make sense then I mean usually I just do trial and error (knowledgeably of course) and use Google until it works.

Glad to see the arrogant "RTFM" attitude still remains in some circles.
It does so much to encourage new players to the field ......

Oh it's alive and well. There's enough people who don't know what they're doing that give everybody a bad name.

yeah. keep up the "good" work.
If those who knew, actually took the time to teach those who don't, no-one would have a "bad" name

Nice tone there.I guess asking is a crime nowadays?

No asking isn't a crime. But using metasploit to pop a neighbours XP machine is <- Just think things through and that remark using 'Tor', don't. I'm not sure if anyone who isn't familiar with metasploit is reading this, but if they are, Tor is somewhat an anonymous traffic router / chain proxy, and it will not be of use to you if you are using metasploit, or if you want to 'pwn' your friends. Metasploit is a learning tool by default, and once a user has fully comprehended the ins and outs, it becomes one tool in array of many for a professional penetration tester.
Instead install VirtualBox (A simple virtual machine can download for free, can run on pretty much any environment).
Install windows xp on it, try not to patch it beyond service pack 2(if you want to play with the ms08_067 exploit). Keep its firewall off, or turn file sharing on.
Then read through http://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/
And above all, read more, learn more, be responsible and have fun.
In short what I'm trying to say is if you are going to play with metasploit, play with it at home with a virtual machine, because using it in the 'wild' aka outside of the machines and networks you own and administer, is illegal, and easily detected without a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Yeah don't even try to "hack" someone's computer. Its wrong, stupid, and probably won't work. Its not a movie where you run some magical command and you have full superuser access...

Sorry, but being spoon-fed is not learning. He would learn a lot more if he didn't have "point and click" assistance through a youtube video. Metasploit already makes it ridiculously trivial to build and deploy exploit code without having to know a thing about the ins and outs.

Tools are great, but people need to start learning how tools work and not how to simply use them.

There are already too many "players" in the field who don't know a damn thing about what they're doing, they get certs and then pimp themselves out.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

I followed the instructions on the guide on the official page. I get to here:
# tar zxvf rubygems-1.X.X
# cd rubygems-1.X.X
# ruby1.8 setup.rb
I unpack the archive,cd into its directory and run the command,but I get:
"./lib/rubygems.rb:12:in 'require': no such file to load --etc (LoadError)
from ./lib/rubygems.rb:12
from setup.rb:24:in 'require'
from setup.rb:24.
Sorry for being a "player who doesn't know a damn thing about what they're doing" but I can't seem to figure this one out?

One step away from database functionality.

I ran gem install activerecord (You will need to edit the pound-bang notation to point to ruby1.8 instead of just ruby on "gem") and ctrl-c'd out of the documentation part (Who cares about compiled documentation? )

Then attempting to do gem install sqlite3-ruby tossed errors as well as trying just gem install sqlite.

Unfortunately I'm not totally awesome enough to figure out why as I have zero experience with Ruby (I'm a Perl guy )

Anyone managed to get the database drivers working for this?

P.S. - Hawaii, you're not cool. While I agree keeping tools out of the hands of people who aren't advanced enough to fully understand what they're doing, the attitude you portray doesn't compliment that of someone who is trying to portray they're intelligent. You just look like a fat geek.
