Now, due to some licensing issues, offensive security doesn't ship motor sport community and the trial
pro versions in Collie Linux.
That's why I want to provide you with another free option, which is called Armitage.
Now, it's not an admission of the Métis Point framework.
It's an interface that will help you manage your penetration test.
It has a very good Java based graphical user interface.
And as I said before, hey, it's developed by Rafael Mudge.
So the goal here is to help security professionals better understand hacking and help them realize the
power of Métis boy.
So now let's let's have a look at how to get into this tool.
You don't need to install Armitage into Colly, it already comes preinstalled, so naturally you can
install Armitage to some other Linux distro.
But for Windows it's not valid.
So you can't work with Armitage on Windows Systems.
You know, you may find a way to use it on Windows, but it probably won't be worth the effort.
But when you're terminal and type Armitage.
And it asks for connecting to the database server, so click Connect.
Then it'll ask to start Métis, RBC Server to remotely interact with Métis Point, so click Yes.
And at first glance, this is what it looks like.
Now you see that on the left pane, the modules are there and on the right pane there is nothing, but
if you have your host, it will be listed.
And below is for the console and the modules, specific tabs.
So you can manage Armitage from the above menu.
And here inside the Armitage menu item, you can you can set global settings for Armitage and create
listeners, change the view of the right pane.
A console item provides you with a place to manage your credentials, your jobs, downloaded files and
all that.
And you'll see that they come up as tabs below.
Under the host item, there are options for managing hosts on your penetration test, Armitage allows
you to add host and make an end map scan on them at any time during a test.
Another great feature of Armitage is here under the attacks menu.
It will suggest exploits for your target host after a rather extensive enumeration.
So if you want to, you can try every suitable exploit onto the target host on the workspace menu.
You can create and change between your workspaces.
So that is Armitage in general, we're going to get into much greater detail in an entire section of
its own just a little bit later.
