Metasploit Checksum Failure

[godylockz]

What's the problem?

[metasploit.vm] vm.common.psm1 [+] ERROR : [ERR] Checksum for 'C:\Tools\Metasploit\metasploitframework-latest.msi' did not meet '470039711E182C4551169A776AFC8C10B4BAEA1600334449998894B2D725D49A' for checksum type 'sha256'. Consider passing the actual checksums through with --checksum --checksum64 once you validate the checksums are appropriate. A less secure option is to pass --ignore-checksums if necessary.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install commando vm.
2. choco install metasploit.vm

Environment

Windows 10

Thanks for taking the time to report this error. But this error is already detected by our daily run: https://github.com/mandiant/VM-Packages/wiki/Daily-Failures

This is caused by the package using a url that dos not include the version number, which changes the hash when the link is updated. For packages using GitHub releases we have automation in place to update them. For the rest, a manual update is needed every time the hash changes.

You are welcome to send a PR to update the hash, to update the link by one with the version or open another issue to propose solutions for this problem if you have any ideas. Alternatively install it ignoring the checksum as suggested in the error message.

Closing this, as we rely on the daily run to track this kind of errors.
