Chapter 10. Visualizing with Armitage
"Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not" - Ashton Kutcher
We covered how to speed up the penetration testing process in the last chapter. Let's continue with a great tool that can also be used to speed up a penetration test.
Armitage is a GUI tool that acts as an attack manager for Metasploit. Armitage visualizes Metasploit operations and recommends exploits as well. Armitage is most capable of providing shared access and team management to Metasploit.
In this chapter, we will look at Armitage and its features. We will also look at how we can conduct penetration testing with this GUI-enabled tool for Metasploit. In the latter half of this chapter, we will look at Cortana scripting for Armitage.
