** This process is no longer supported. Armitage does not support connecting to the Metasploit Framework on Windows. Connecting Armitage from Windows to a team server on Linux is OK. **

    You must connect to a team hosted server on Linux. Connecting to a Metasploit RPC server on windows is not supported

    Right when i am opening Armitage, it gives me this error: "You must connect to a team hosted server on Linux. Connecting to a Metasploit RPC server on windows is not supported". So does that mean that i cant run Armitage on windows?

    Yes. This video is a bit dated, but newer versions of the Metasploit Installer require you to register with Rapid7 to get updates. I recommend using Metasploit from Kali Linux in a VM.

    This process works with Metasploit 3.5.2 as well. The install path is different. Instead of c:framework, Metasploit installs to c:program filesrapid7framework.

    I can not thank you enough for creating Armitage. I use it on Backtrack most of the time but I do have a couple window machines. I always prefer a nice GUI instead of typing when possible.

    @Eggeman32 The update step brings Metasploit up to the latest. Armitage is completely compatible with 3.5.1 + updates. I followed the instructions from the video as-is with framework-3.5.1.exe (I should have done that in the video too). It works exactly the same. Make sure your firewall is off and consider rebooting your computer to make sure the postgresql service is restarted.

    @PUNDEKLA No. Penetration testing tools aren't like productivity tools. Often times, these tools are targeted by AV and they also send and expect to receive many varying kinds of traffics. Firewalls do not play nice with these situations and you'll wonder why certain attacks aren't working. I recommend devoting a computer or virtual machine to your penetration testing tools. BackTrack Linux is the best way to go for getting started.
