Hi, I have tried to install mongod from the apt-get install on my Kali Linux machine. However, it couldn’t find a package with that name. Hence, I decided to install mongod binaries specified at in their documentation as follows.

  • Donwload mongod package and extract the content

mogodown

wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.6.17.tgz
  • Add the location of mongod in the PATH variable

Goto home directory -> Ctrl+H -> Find the .bashrc file -> open and paste following-> Save

export PATH=<path-to-mongodb-directory>/bin:$PATH
  • Create data/db directory. (Since I use the root user not needed to set permissions)
mkdir -p /data/db
  • Now open terminal and use mongod  to start the server
mongod

mongod

  • Use mongo command to use the database
mongo

mongo

Cheers ! 🙂

Use MongoDB Cloud with Python on Kali 2020

Hi, today I give a step by step guide to use mongoDB Atles  with a python program. I decided to use the cloud version since it’s easy and as well as free. And most importantly I got ‘Unable to locate package mongodb-org/mongo’ error while trying to install on Kali 2020.1. If you still want to install mongodb on host please refer to this.

 Step 1: Create an Account of MongoDB Atlas

Visit https://www.mongodb.com/download-center to create a free account.

Step 2: Next Create a New Cluster

You have to give the IP address that can access the cluster. It could be your device or can allow for anyone.

  • Find IP of your device: On browser visit http://httpbin.org/ip
  • The IP for anyone to access : 0.0.0.0/0 (Have security issues)

Next, give give the name and password for a DB user. These credentials later required to connect with the cluster from the python program.

Step 3. Connect the DB

Since I’m using the MongoDB within a Python program, I select as follows.

“Connect  Your Application” -> Choose “Python” driver and version (3.6 or later) used in the program

Next, copy the generated String and replace the <password> with the given password when generating the DB user.

Step 4. Generate a Database and a Collection

Select ‘Collection’ –> It will prompt to create the database. Provide a name from Database and a Collection. –> Create

Step 5: Update Python Program

You should install the pymongo driver to use with the program.

from pymongo import MongoClient
client = MongoClient(<Past the generated String >)db = client.get_database('service')collection = db.get_collection('authdetails')

Cheers !

Use MongoDB on Kali Linux with PyCharm

Hi, In this post I will detail how I installed and used MongoDB on Kali Linux, including how I resolved the issues came across.

Step 1: Install mongodb on Kali Linux

  • Use the following command to install mongodb (refer: source)
sudo apt-get install mongodb

Alternatively, you can remove existing installations with the following command before executing the above install command.

sudo apt-get purge mongo*
  • Run the mongodb server

I tried the following  two commands based on the existing tutorials, however with errors.

#1 mongod

Error:error0

#2 sudo systemctl start mongod

Error:

erro1

Solution:

create /data/db directory

sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chmod g+w /data/db
mongod

 

server run 2

Step 2: Set up PyCharm

  • Install pymongo using the PyCharm interpreter. (File -> Settings -> Under ‘Project’ find the  ‘Project Interpreter’)

Step 3: Create a mongodb database

Open a new terminal and use command

mongo

Following that you can use an existing tutorial : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/mongodb/mongodb_create_collection.htm on creating and managing mongoDBs as follows.

create db

Step 4: Use the created mongoDB on PyCharm

import pymongo

uri = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'
client = pymongo.MongoClient(uri)
db = client['actionmonitor']
collection = db['pagedefaults']

Cheers ! 🙂
