BRIEF

BeEF is short for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser.

Step 1: installing dependencies

Before installing anything update your repositories.

sudo apt update -y

Ruby, Ruby-dev and Git is required for BeEF. Install them using:

sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev git -y

Step 2: Installation

Clone BeEF repo

git clone https://github.com/beefproject/beef

cd into beef folder

cd beef/

Run the install script with sudo

sudo ./install

Say ‘y’ to both prompts

Step 3: Setup

open config.yaml and change the default credentials. BeEF will not work with default creds

nano config.yaml

Here I am using “test” as username and “beef” as password

use ctrl+x then press y then enter/return to save and exit the config file

Now start BeEF by

./beef

Here I got a error. To fix use this command

bundle install

if you don’t have bundler use sudo apt install bundler -y

Type your sudo password

now start BeEF again

./beef

Use the link next to “UI URL” to access the BeEF portal

Login and use BeEF for education and pen testing purposes only
