However, some users may prefer a graphical user interface (GUI) over the command-line interface (CLI) of Metasploit Framework. A GUI can offer a more intuitive and user-friendly way of interacting with the software, as well as providing additional features such as visualizations, wizards, and dashboards. For this reason, several projects have been developed to provide a GUI for Metasploit Framework, such as Armitage, Cobalt Strike, and Metasploit Pro.
One of these projects is Metasploit Framework GUI, which is a fork of the original Metasploit Framework project that adds a web-based GUI on top of it. Metasploit Framework GUI is maintained by reachclarity, a GitHub user who claims to be "a security researcher who loves to break things". The project can be found at [reachclarity/metasploit-framework-gui].
On September 19, 2023, reachclarity announced the release of Metasploit Framework GUI v3.2, which is based on Metasploit Framework v6.0.9. The new version introduces several improvements and bug fixes, such as:
Added support for PostgreSQL 13 database backend.
Fixed an issue with loading modules from custom paths.
Improved the performance and stability of the web server.
Updated the documentation and screenshots.
Added a dark mode option for the GUI.
To install Metasploit Framework GUI v3.2, users need to clone the GitHub repository and run the setup script. Alternatively, they can download the pre-built installer for Windows or Linux from the [downloads page]. The installer includes both Metasploit Framework and Metasploit Framework GUI, as well as all the dependencies.
Metasploit Framework GUI v3.2 is compatible with most modern web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Users can access the GUI by launching the web server and visiting http://localhost:8080 in their browser. The default username and password are admin and password respectively.
Metasploit Framework GUI v3.2 offers a similar functionality to the CLI version of Metasploit Framework, but with a more convenient and attractive interface. Users can browse, search, and run modules, configure options, view output, manage sessions, create reports, and more. The GUI also provides some additional features that are not available in the CLI version, such as:
A dashboard that shows an overview of the current workspace, including hosts, services, vulnerabilities, exploits, sessions, loot, and credentials.
A wizard that guides users through the steps of performing a penetration test, from setting up the target to generating a report.
A visualization tool that displays a graphical representation of the network topology and the attack path.
A code editor that allows users to write and edit custom modules, scripts, payloads, and plugins.
A terminal that allows users to execute commands directly on the target system or on the local machine.
Metasploit Framework GUI v3.2 is a useful tool for anyone who wants to use Metasploit Framework in a more comfortable and efficient way. It is also a good option for beginners who want to learn how to use Metasploit Framework without having to deal with the complexity of the CLI. However, users should be aware that Metasploit Framework GUI is not an official product of Rapid7, the company behind Metasploit Framework, and may not be updated or supported as frequently as the original project.
