Armitage is a graphical frontend to the Metasploit Framework.
In this recipe, we will be setting up the Armitage graphical user interface for the Metasploit Framework. Based on your preference, you may like the GUI versus the command-line experience. However, you can use them both interchangeably at anytime because of their common database.
Note that both the Metasploit Framework and Armitage use the same backend database, therefore if you have already initialized the database, skip to the section on starting Armitage.
