Setting up Armitage in BT5 R2 for Pen Testing


I know this looks like a large post to read, but most of it is just output from kernel commands, so please bare with me, thanks!

I have been trying to get Armitage up and running on BT5 R2.

Before I continue, I should say that I have been reading quite a few tuts and ended up changing some of the code on the "postgresql.conf" file

Here are the pieces I changed:

#listen_addresses = 'x' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
#port = 55553 # (change requires restart)


Here is the directory of the file if you need to view the entire code: /opt/framework/postgresql/data/postgres.conf



I then ran the command: msfgui, and loaded up the connection details and took not of them, which are as follows:

RPC connection

username: msf
password: wbcgrzvutd
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 55553
ssl: false

I then went back to the kernel and entered the following commands:

cd /opt/framework/msf3
./armitage

I then received the following message:

"Could not connect to database.
Click Help button for toubleshooting help.

Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections."

So I then tried to run the msfconsole command and got the following message:


root@Ninjex:/opt/framework/msf3# msfconsole

Hmmm I will check that out. I just realized for some reason my version of BackTrack failed to come with metasploit.
Installing it now to see if it helps!
