Although BeEF comes pre-installed in various pen-testing operating systems, it might be possible that it is not installed in your case. To check if whether BeEF is installed, look for BeEF in your Kali Linux directory. To do so, go to applications>Kali Linux>System Services>beef start.
beef xss download
If you already have it, use the following command to update everything. And if you don't have it, the same command will install it. Just make sure to use beef-xss and not "beef" because the latter is a programming language interpreter, which is different. (We made that mistake in our video above, so don't do the same.)
If you don't see any beef-related tools in that folder, or if you don't see that folder at all, you may have installed "beef" and not "beef-xss" so make sure to do the latter. (You can also start BeEF from the Exploitation Tools folder where it's "beef xss framework.)
Once the browser interface opens, you'll need to log in to the BeEF service. The default credentials are beef for the username and beef for the password. However, you may have been prompted to create a password for your beef session (as seen above), and in that case, you would use beef as the username and whatever password you chose.

BeEF is installed by default in Kali distribution. It is located in the /usr/share/beef-xss/ directory. By default, it is not integrated with the Metasploit framework. To integrate BeEF, you will need to perform the following steps:
In addition to verifying the hashes, before you run any executable you download from the internet it is a good approach to run it through Virus Total first. This will scan the executable with more than 40 antivirus engines. This is however not a guarantee that the program is not malicious and can in fact be bypassed (using msfencode, for example). When no antivirus engine finds a problem with the downloaded file that provides you with a higher degree of confidence that the file is hopefully safe.
In this case we need to install the Development kit. You can donwload it from this URL. There are great instructions on how to install this kit here (What comes next is the result of directly following the instructions in the development kit wiki). First we need to download it:
The first requirement was to make a more intuitive payload. However, given the nature of the vulnerability, it seemed like a perfect vector of attack for a redirect to a website with embedded JavaScript that would execute a beef cross-site scripting webhook and inject into the user's browser.
As seen, the attacker utilizes BeEF's social engineering module labeled 'Fake Notification Bar' and pretext by having the browser popup a message stating that plugins are out-of-date and require an update. The attacker then tells the victim/employee through the support chat about the 'Notification' on the website. The conversation might continue with the attacker saying that they downloaded the plugin updater suggested through the web application, but it's not resolving the issue that they are having seeing parts of the website.
We start by creating an empty gemfile on our beef-xss root folder and we copy paste the required gems in the gemfile. We then install the required gems from the specified sources using below commands.
And once the user enters his/her username and password we will be ale to view it right from our beef hacking framework(see image below). After the user clicks the sign in button, he/she will be redirected to the official google sign in page. This aids in making the attack more stealth.
Beef hacking framework is a powerful tool that can be leveraged by systems security professionals to try and design systems especially web apps which are safe for use by the end user. A hacker with the necessary knowledge can also add his own modifications on beef hacking framework to make it more powerful. For example, A hacker can design the login page of any website he needs information from and even customize the URLs of the phishing page to make them look more believable in the eyes of the victim. We as users of the internet, we should avoid visiting malicious and insecure websites to avoid being victims of beef hacking. We should also check the authenticity of web pages which require us to provide them with personal details.
