It is a free and open source network security tool notable for its contributions to red team collaboration allowing for: shared sessions, data, and communication through a single Metasploit instance.[1] Armitage is written and supported by Raphael Mudge.
Armitage is a GUI front-end for the Metasploit Framework developed by Raphael Mudge with the goal of helping security professionals better understand hacking and to help them realize the power of Metasploit.[2] [3] It was originally made for Cyber Defense Exercises, but has since expanded its user base to other penetration testers.[4]
