Errata Security Metasploit on N800
A recent post to the Errata Security blog has sparked lots of interest in how to get Metasploit running on the Nokia N800. Here are the step by step instructions that I used to make a mobile hacking platform. There aren't many steps, and they are pretty simple.

CREDIT: Although I got this running on a N800, HD Moore had it running on a Nokia 770 first. In addition this nifty hack is possible because of the well thought out design of the Metasploit Framework and the tireless efforts of people like HD Moore and Matt Miller.

DISCLAIMER: You can brick a N800 pretty easily. I do not certify this information to be bug free or to cause no harm to your device. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1: Get an Xterm. I use the Osso Xterm. http://downloads.maemo.org/product/osso-xterm-advanced

Step 2: Get Ruby. The package I used was a gift from a friend, you can find it here. Download this to your device and install it.

Step 3: Get Metasploit. I did this on a Linux box; the easiest way to do it is using svn. The command on Linux is: svn checkout http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/ framework3 When the svn checkout is done go into the Metasploit root directory and run the following command. find . -name .svn -exec rm -fr {} \;

Step 4: Get Metasploit on the N800. This is up to you. I have a scp client on mine so I just copied it down. You can also write it to an SD card, put the SD card in the N800 and copy it off. I put mine in /home/user/Metasploit.

Look for more N800 projects coming soon.
