Armitage: Metasploit Attack Management GUI
Armitage, by Raphael Mudge, is a great little user interface for Metasploit which allows you to easily discover targets, deliver exploits, and manage your attacks to do things like pivots without any hassles.
Getting started with Armitage in Backtrack 4 R2 is easy. First, start the MySQL DB with /etc/init.d/mysql start (root/toor), and then start the Metasploit RPC daemon:
cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
./msfrpcd -f -U msf -P test -t Basic
Once msfrpcd is running, simply launch Armitage using the script provided and click Connect (you may need to check the Use SSL checkbox).
Armitage is written in Java, and works in Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Download it here.
[Update] Armitage has been added to the Backtrack repos. Here’s a short tutorial, and check out the video tutorial below.
[Updated 21/01/2011] Hak5 episode 882 features a tutorial with mubix and Mudge (Hak5).

BackTrack 4 r2 “Nemesis” Released
[Update 10/5/2011] BT4r2 is now superceded by the new and improved BackTrack 5!
BackTrack 4 r2 (codename “Nemesis”) has been released and brings a number of updates aimed at improving “desktop responsiveness, better hardware support, broader wireless card support, streamlined work environment”.
Updates include an updated kernel (2.6.35.8) with improved wireless support, USB 3.0, faster responsiveness, pruned and new packages, and a new BackTrack wiki for more documentation and support.
Users with existing BT4 installs/VMs can simply perform an update using:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
BackTrack 4 r2 is available as a 2GB ISO, or 2.4GB VMWare image, on the downloads page (the BT4 download links appear to have been removed in favour of BT5).
