Armitage
Armitage is a graphical cyber attack management tool for Metasploit that visualizes your targets, recommends exploits, and exposes the advanced capabilities of the framework. Armitage aims to make Metasploit usable for security practitioners who understand hacking but don’t use Metasploit every day. If you want to learn Metasploit and grow into the advanced features, Armitage can help us.
Prerequisites to install Armitage:
Armitage has the following prerequisites:- Java 1.6.0+
- Metasploit 3.5+
- A database and the information to connect to it
./msfrpcd -f -U msf -P test -t Basic
Once you have a database, navigate to the folder containing the Armitage files and type:
./armitage.sh
Customization options:
You may edit these in the Armitage -> Preferences menu.
- Ctrl Plus – zoom in
- Ctrl Minus – zoom out
- Ctrl 0 – reset the zoom level
- Ctrl A – select all hosts
- Escape – clear selection
- Ctrl C – arrange hosts into a circle
- Ctrl S – arrange hosts into a stack
- Ctrl H – arrange hosts into a hierarchy. This only works when a pivot is set up.
- Ctrl R – refresh hosts from the database
Armitage will be a great tool for regular penetration testers, who use open source tools. Armitage also adds support for many other tools.
