We shouldn't consider this a true Metasploit discussion without touching on Armitage. Armitage is a graphical frontend environment for Metasploit with a couple of huge advantages:

• Armitage allows for more efficient working. Many of the tedious aspects of working with a console are reduced, as many tasks can be automated by executing a series of actions with a single click. The user interface environment also makes organization a snap.
• Armitage runs as a team server on a single machine, making it accessible from other Armitage clients on the network, which turns Metasploit Framework into a fully-fledged red-teaming attack platform. You can even script out your own Cortana-based red team bots. Even a single well-versed individual can become terrifying with Armitage as an interface to Metasploit. 

We'll explore Armitage again during post-exploitation, where its power really shines, but for now, let's take a look at how we can make our Metasploit tasks more project-friendly.
