It’s also very easy to hook your own stuff into it. The Metasploit Framework isn’t just exploits though, it’s an integration point for offensive capabilities that simply work together. Once an exploit makes it into the Metasploit Framework, it’s immediately available to its ~250K users. If you aren’t familiar with the Metasploit Project, it’s an open source collection of safe and vetted exploits. This Cortana piece was funded by DARPA’s Cyber Fast Track program. It’s also possible to write bots that connect to this team server and extend Armitage with scripts written in a language called Cortana. It has a server component to allow a team of hackers to share their accesses to compromised hosts. Armitage is a scriptable red team collaboration tool. At first glance, it may seem that Armitage is just a pretty front-end on top of Metasploit. What is Armitage?Īrmitage is a graphical user interface for the Metasploit Framework.

If you’re looking to get started with Armitage, you’re reading the most modern and complete guide.

The Java 1.6 shipped with Kali causes graphical glitches.ġ6 April 2014 – This blog post is still good advice. – I’ve updated this tutorial to state how to use Armitage with Kali Linux, since BackTrack Linux is no longer supported.Ģ2 Sept 2013 – Added instructions to make Kali Linux use Java 1.7 by default. So, I just realized there isn’t a modern tutorial on how to start Armitage and take advantage of it. There’s the documentation, but my documentation tries to cover every corner case and it’s not friendly to the novice who wants to try it out quickly. I do not know of a getting started guide that is up to date with the latest Armitage conventions. This blog post is my attempt to correct this oversight.
