Authentication realm: https://metasploit.com:443 =[ MSF must be updated via GitHub or a more recent msfupdate. See http://r-7.co/MSF-SVN for more ]= Password for 'my PC name':

here is the solution, just follow below steps:

If you are still on SVN, then converting to GitHub works like this:

  1. Don't try to use a password; if by some miracle you happen to guess a correct one, your prize is that you get some messed up, out of date SVN-sourced code. (:

  2. Delete your SVN checkout of Metasploit: rm -rf $HOME/metasploit (or the real path to your checkout).

  3. Clone the latest from GitHub: git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework metasploit (or the path where you want the clone).

  4. Go to your new Metasploit checkout, and run msfupdate: cd metasploit; ./msfupdate (this will get the bundle of Ruby gems together for you).

If you can't use the git:// URI handler, then use https:// instead. It's somewhat slower, but still a million times better than SVN. If bundler complains about gem dependencies, then check to make sure that you have a reasonable version of Ruby; 1.9.3 is ideal. 1.8.x is out. 2.0.0 should be okay, but it's not vetted for prime time yet.
