Métis Boyd also offers various types of user interfaces, and each one has its own advantages, the
GeoEye interface.
With the graphical user interface.
Some people say gooey, I tend to prefer GeoEye, almost everything might be done by clicking a button.
This interface is user friendly and that helps to provide a cleaner scanning and exploiting environment.
I've showed you that while talking about the pro and the community additions, you might like it a whole
lot better because it just, you know, it was a clean way to exploit a target.
Now, this is the console interface, the way I see it, most of the penetration testers and security
researchers use this interface.
It's also the most popular one.
It's power cannot be underestimated.
This interface provides an all in one approach to basically all the options offered by Métis Boit,
it's also considered one of the most stable interfaces out throughout the range of this course.
I'm going to be using this console interface for the most part.
I want to get used to the environment and the commands.
You're going to consider yourself a console ninja.
And the next one is.
The command line interface Métis Boyd had an interface named MSFC Ally, but nowadays it doesn't really
exist.
You can use MSF console's X parameter to accomplish the exact same thing now.
It supports almost every feature that Métis Boit framework has, such as the launching of exploits to
activities, payload generation and so forth.
However, I think it's hard to memorize every command, each time.
So I tend not to use it too much, although somehow I'll use it a couple of times, you'll see when
we get there.
So for those of you who want to benefit from MSF, but you really feel you need a guy, hold on.
The next one is for you, Armytage.
Armitage, Armitage, you say Armitage anyway, Armitage by Rafael Munge, it's a cool hacker style
GeoEye interface.
It provides a lot of the features, such as easy vulnerability management and map scans, exploit recommendations.
It uses Cortana scripting language for automation.
Now, to be honest, I don't really use this feature.
And so I will give you some extra thoughts about Armitage in the next slide.
Also, there's a full section that covers how to use it efficiently.
So stay tuned.
I first want to show you the equivalent of the old MSFC ally interface.
Because it doesn't exist now, MSF console's X parameter does the exact task for you, so open your
terminal MSF console, each will display basic help menu.
Now, here, the parameter and its description is visible.
But now I'm going to use it as type MSF, console X.
Then between double quotes, right, your medicine boy commands something to use the voice ftp d exploit
again.
And yeah, there's no tab completion here, so that's why I was saying earlier, it might be a little
more difficult to remember the command each time.
So anyway, hit enter.
And it'll start the Métis Bloy at the very first moment.
Then it will use the exploit and set its variable.
A session is opened in the background.
So I will interact with that session by sessions I won.
Now, because this is not Metropia, Herschelle, you can directly write Linux commands to the screen.
You name A to check the machine's full name.
If config and this is what you saw earlier and most Boydell to.
