The Kali Linux environment provides a lot of tools which allow security professionals to audit environments and networks, but it is sometimes very hard for new users to get the tools running as they should run.

In this tutorial we will take a look on how to start the Armitage environment in the most easiest way, you will only need to create a script on your Desktop which will start the armitage application for you and the required services.

How to create the Armitage script
