Add a warning during install that it will fail if Antivirus is running

bwatters-r7 opened this issue · comments

Since the installers are linked everywhere, it might be a good idea to add a warning during the install process to create exceptions for the antivirus or to turn it off completely. We list it on most of our sites, but those externally can link without us knowing, so a warning in the installation process would be a great catch-all.

You could modify resources/metasploit-framework/msi/assets/LICENSE.rtf or one of the other assets if desired, depending on how fancy you want the warning to be.

We could also probably apply some of our recent AV research and encode these files out of the view of most AV programs in the first place.

I was looking to see if there was a tag I could add to metasploit-omnibus/resources/metasploit-framework/msi/localization-en-us.wxl.erb

Sounds like a good idea. Let me know if you come up with a patch and I can take a look.
