[TUTORIAL] Metasploitable2

[coyo]

Hi all,
I've been toying getting Metasploitable to run on Proxmox.
The below steps result in a working VM. I installed some packages on the proxmox server (unzip), if that is not desired, perform image manipulation on another host.

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/metasploitable/files/Metasploitable2/metasploitable-linux-2.0.0.zip


unzip metasploitable-linux-2.0.0.zip


cd Metasploitable2-Linux/


qemu-img convert -O qcow2 Metasploitable.vmdk metasploitable.qcow2


qm create 300 --memory 2048 --cores 2 --name Metasploitable2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --boot c --bootdisk ide0


qm importdisk 300 metasploitable.qcow2 local-lvm


qm set 300 --ide0 local-lvm:vm-300-disk-0

Done!
Bootup and enjoy.

Hi! Thanks a lot for this. It worked.
One tip as well for others is when you importdisk (penultimate step) there is a lot of text, then it prints the import location.



Remember to use this location in the final step.

I didn't realise at first and kept putting in wrong location
