Module 12: Armitage

12.1 Overview of Armitage

Armitage stands out as a comprehensive graphical cyber attack management tool designed to streamline the penetration testing process.

GUI-based Cyber Attack Management

  1. Graphical User Interface (GUI):

    • Armitage boasts a visually intuitive interface that simplifies complex penetration testing tasks.
    • Graphical Features:
      • Intuitive representation of network hosts and attack paths.
      • Point-and-click exploitation for ease of use.
  2. Host Management:

    • Efficiently organize and manage target hosts within Armitage.
    • Host Management Actions:
      • Add, remove, and categorize hosts based on vulnerabilities.
      • Gain detailed insights into each host's characteristics.
  3. Exploitation Visualization:

    • Armitage visualizes the exploitation process, aiding users in understanding attack paths.
    • Visualization Tools:
      • Attack graphs illustrating exploited hosts and potential pivot points.
      • Dependency graphs for visualizing relationships between hosts.

Collaborative Penetration Testing

Armitage goes beyond individual use, supporting collaborative penetration testing efforts with features tailored for teamwork.

Enhanced Collaborative Features:

  1. Team Collaboration:

    • Multiple team members can connect to a shared Armitage instance, promoting collaborative testing.
    • Example Collaboration Steps:
      # Establish connection among team members within Armitage
      # Distribute tasks and coordinate penetration testing activities collaboratively
      
  2. Exploitation Framework Integration:

    • Seamless integration with Metasploit provides a robust exploitation framework directly accessible from the graphical interface.
    • Example Exploitation Command:
      # Launch Metasploit exploits seamlessly through the Armitage GUI
      
  3. Real-time Interaction:

    • Team members can interact in real-time, sharing insights and adjusting strategies as needed.
    • Real-time Collaboration Actions:
      • Instant messaging within the Armitage interface for efficient communication.
