Kali 1.10 - Ruby 2.1.5, Metasploit needed for SET to work.

[LinuxDad]

I was attempting to use the SET application, and found it severely lacking (it does not work!), under Kali 1.10.

Apparently Metasploit has updated their requirements for Ruby 2.1.5, while Kali has 1.9.

Perform the usual:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

does not resolve the issues.

Any suggestions?

Try updating Metasploit to 4.11.1-2015031001.
Else, wait for kali 1.1.0a to be released.

I am experiencing the same problem. I updated my Kali to 1.1.0a and the problem still persists. In 1.1.0a Ruby is still 1.9. It would be great if someone can help!

Edit:
When I try to use Metasploit Browser Exploit Method in setoolkit, setoolkit crashes with the following error:
"Could not find rake-10.4.2 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems."
So I ran bundle install in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/, but some gems required ruby 2. Kali has only 1.9, so I had to update it. Here is what I did:

1. apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g zlib1g-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev locate libreadline6-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git-core libssl-dev libyaml-dev openssl autoconf libtool ncurses-dev bison curl wget xsel postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev libapr1 libaprutil1 libsvn1 libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev
2. curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
3. curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=enabled --ruby=2.1.5
4. source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
5. ruby -v # See that it's 2.1.5
6. cd /usr/share/metasploit-framework/
7. gem install bundler
8. in the terminal choose Edit > Profile Preferences > Title and Command > check "Run command as a login shell" in order to use ruby 2.1.5 in every terminal
9. (BUNDLEJOBS=$(expr $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vendor_id | wc -l) - 1) && bundle config --global jobs $BUNDLEJOBS)
10. bundle install
11. setoolkit

Run setoolkit only from the terminal, if you want to use the Metasploit Browser Exploit Method. Otherwise, you can run it from the Kali menu. This method does not replace the ruby installed in Kali, which still remains 1.9. If someone has a better solution, I will gladly accept it! It will be a good thing if the developers get to know about this issue and maybe release an update with a fix.

EDIT2:
The issue has been fixed in SET 6.3 which is now in the Kali repositories.
