SILC Channel

You can interact with other members of the Metasploit community on the official Metasploit SILC channel. This channel (metasploit) is hosted on the silc.hick.org SILC server. You can access this server using the Pidgin IM client or the official SILC client. To connect using pidgin, you need to configure a new account and join the Metasploit channel:

• 1) Access the Accounts menu, select the Add/Edit option
• 2) Click the Add button on the bottom of the window
• 3) From the Protocol list, select SILC
• 4) Enter your handle into the screen name field
• 5) Select the Advanced tab, enter silc.hick.org for the connect server
• 6) Click Save

This will cause Pidgin to immediately connect to the silc.hick.org server on port 706. Once you are connected, access the Buddies menu from the main window, select the Join a Chat option. In the dialogue, select the SILC account from the drop-down, enter "metasploit" as the channel, and click Join. A chat window will open and you will be connected. The second way to access SILC is via the official SILC client. This client is only available for Unix-like platforms. Most Linux distributions include a SILC package and installing it should just be a matter of emerge/rpm/apt-get or similar. Once SILC has been installed, run the following command to access the Metasploit channel:
$ silc -c silc.hick.org
The first time you run this, silc will generate a new key pair for you. Just follow the prompts until the key is generated and the client connects to the server. Once you see the welcome message from the server, type "/join metasploit" to access our channel. If the silc client immediately exits after you run this command, you may need to set the real name field in your system's passwd file.

The Metasploit Book

An effort is under way by the Metasploit community to write a book about network security, exploit development, and the Metasploit Framework. If you are interested in discussing the project, or volunteering some writing time, please join the booktalk mailing list. To subscribe to the booktalk mailing list, send a blank email to booktalk-subscribe[at]metasploit.com. The server will ask you to confirm your subscription.
