In some cases, when you try to fire up Armitage in Kali Linux, it says that it can't start because it can't connect to the back-end DBMS (it uses postgresql at back-end).
In such cases, you have to first type this command:
root@Xtr3M3-Mach:~# service postgresql start
[ ok ] Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server: main.
root@Xtr3M3-Mach:~# armitage
Armitage would run just fine after that.
Detailed Post on Usage of Armitage [with Screenshots] is here
Armitage isn't some script kiddie toy. It offers organized team-based penetration testing. The GUI is just a convenience. It has full support of scripts, custom payloads, etc.
ReplyDeleteI never meant to imply that Armitage is a 'toy'. I respect that tool and if you see my other post on working on armitage, you'll see that I do not disregard it. However, for new learners who get addicted to 'gui' of armitage, it can be something that puts a level of abstraction between you and what's going on in the background (hint: newbies clicking nmap scans and then try a 'hail mary' and get a shell while they have no idea of what goes on in the background)
ReplyDelete99% of the script kiddies don't know what is happening when they use Armitage. This is the problem.
