Launching All the Attacks with Armitage

Kali Linux includes a GUI for Metasploit called Armitage. In addition to being a front-end and convenient GUI, Armitage offers automation of some common processes and some extra displays and features.

For example, Armitage has an option called Hail Mary. Upon activation, it will launch every attack it knows about against every host you've added to your workspace. This is obviously not stealthy at all, but in my opinion it's a great way to check if your systems are vulnerable to anything.

After activation, you'll see each attack as it's sent, and then after 30 seconds you'll see a list of shells successfully opened. If there's even one, some service running on the machine, if not the machine itself, is easily compromised.
