Efficiency and attack organization with Armitage
We shouldn't consider this a true Metasploit discussion without touching on Armitage. Armitage is a graphical frontend environment for Metasploit with a couple of huge advantages:
- Armitage allows for more efficient working. Many of the tedious aspects of working with a console are reduced, as many tasks can be automated by executing a series of actions with a single click. The user interface environment also makes organization a snap.
- Armitage runs as a team server on a single machine, making it accessible from other Armitage clients on the network, which turns Metasploit Framework into a fully-fledged red-teaming attack platform.
