H 2C: Installing Metasploit and Nmap on a Debian Cloud Server (10 pts)

What you need

Purpose

To get metasploit and Nmap on our Debian cloud server.

I used to use the "Katoolin" tool but it has been deprecated, and the recommended replacement "Tool-X" fails to install the Metasploit dependencies, so it's easier to just install these tools directly.

Google Cloud Server

If you don't have a Google Cloud Server set up, see these instructions.

Google Cloud Platform Console

Open a Web browser to this URL:

https://console.cloud.google.com

Log in to Google, and you should see your Google Cloud Platform Console.

On the left side, click "Compute Engine". as shown below.

Installing Metasploit

Execute these commands: 
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall
chmod 755 msfinstall
sudo ./msfinstall
Metasploit installs, as shown below.

Installing Nmap

Execute this command: 
sudo apt install nmap
Enter y to install the package, and y again to install the package without verification.

Nmap installs, as shown below.

Finding your Windows Cloud Server's IP Address

In your Google Cloud Platform Console, find your Windows cloud server's IP address, as outlined in red in the image below.
