To import #nmap scans to MSF:

1. Start postgreSQL database service:service postgresql start
2. Old versions of Metasploit requires us to initialize the database: msfdb init
3. Start MSF: msfconsole
4. To check if we're connected to the postgreSQL database use this command: db_status
5. It's best practice to create a new workspace for your scans for each pentest you do.

• To create type this: workspace -a <name>
• To view existing workspaces: workspace

5. Now we will import our scan to a workspace with this command: db_import /scans/win_server.xml # We can use taps to auto complete.

• To check if we imported correctly use this command: hosts
• To check open services use this command: services

6. Use setg RHOSTS <target_ip> to save time instead to having to enter the target IP in every module we use.

MSF Commands:

• db_nmap <nmap options> => Performs an nmap scan that will be saved to Metasploit
• db_import scan.xml => import a scan to the MSF database.

To Import MSF Plugins:

• After we download the Plugin, Move it to this folder: /usr/share/metasploit-framework/plugins
• Then in the msfconsole use this command: load <Plugin_Name>
