Prepare Metasploit

It is recommended to install Metasploit as described in the official Metasploit documentation. On Kali Linux, you can also install it from the repositories using apt:

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install metasploit-framework

AttackMate communicates with Metasploit via the RPC daemon (msfrpcd). Start it (optionally with a password) before running AttackMate:

$ msfrpcd -P securepassword

Once started, msfrpcd listens on all interfaces on port 55553. Configure the connection in AttackMate via msf_config.
