Set up Armitage on Backtrack 4R2

Requirements :

1. Backtrack 5 R2

2. Armitage(already included on your BT5R2 package)

Step by Step :

1. According to Armitage website :

Armitage comes with BackTrack Linux 5r2. The latest Armitage release requires BackTrack 5r2. 5r0 and 5r1 are out! If you uinstall Metasploit (hint: /path/to/metasploit/uninstall) and reinstall with the Metasploit installer, then you may use any version of BackTrack that you want.

So if you update and upgrade your Armitage from your previous version of Backtrack, you need to reinstall your Metasploit to the latest version 4.3 and uninstall your previous Metasploit version.

2. Open up your terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T

3. Type msfupdate command, we do an update first to make sure we got the latest package both Metasploit or Armitage.

4. When update process finished, type armitage on your terminal and it will show up a pop up dialog window to connect to your Armitage.

    I’m having issues getting Armitage to start. the applet starts but during the “progress” window I am stuck with the following msg “java.net.socketexception: connection reset”. The progress bar fills up and then the applet closes without starting the Armitage console.

    Check your default port your using to connet with. I had to change my port to 3000. Dont forget to launch your msfconsole.
