Remove Backtrack 5 R2 Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) Unable to Find Metasploit Error
Metasploit path not found" problem while working with Social Engineer Toolkit present on Backtrack 5 R2. This error comes when correct path to Metasploit framework is not specified. In Backtrack 5 R2 "Metasploit Path not found" problem usually occurs when you try to open Social Engineering Toolkit commanly known as SET (from Applications -> BackTrack -> Exploitation Tools -> Social Engineering Tools -> Social Engineering Toolkit -> set), it loads up as normal, requiring you to accept the terms of service. But, before the terms of service appear, following error is shown:
[!] Metasploit path not found. These payloads will be disabled. [!] Please configure in the config/set_config. Press {return} to
continue
This error reappears if you try to use the option 4,Update the
Metasploit
This problem can be fixed in two ways
Method 1: if your computer is connected with internet. Then open Social Engineer toolkit and Select option number 5, which says "Update The Social Engineer Toolkit". By doing this, SET will download a new copy of set_config file which is compatible with your system.
After Social Engineer Toolkit update, restart SET and You are done..
This method consumes time and extra bandwidth. So you can try method 2 which doesn't needs internet connection to remove this error.
Method 2: Open set_config file, Which usually present at /pentest/exploits/set/config/set_config with any text editor program.
After that locate the following line
Code:
METASPLOIT_PATH=/opt/framework3/msf3And Then Replace With Following Line
Code:
METASPLOIT_PATH=/opt/metasploit/msf3Save the Changes and You are done.
Now social engineer toolkit will work without any error.
