Experiences installing MetaSploit 2.1 on Panther (10.3.4)

Metasploit is covered more extensively in Richard Bejtlich blog "The goal is to provide useful information to people who perform penetration testing, IDS signature development, and exploit research." Seemed like a great tool / toy Metasploit Project for IDS.

Once downloaded the install requirements are Term::ReadLine::Gnu which ships as part of the Metasploit (framework) distribution, but it requires the readline library in order to install, so grab your trusty Developer Tools CD, or readline and the patch and install readline.

Once completed installing Net::SSLeay is a simple of matter of either "perl Makefile.PL && make && sudo make instal" or using CPAN to install the module.

Now you should be able to cd into the frameworks directory and execute the user interface that you feel comfortable with.
