Hack Windows XP using Armitage Kali Linux
Intro - In this tutorial we will learn How to use armitage for hacking windows XP as well as we will learn using of Meterpreter. I will Explain you simple and easiest way to run armitage in Kali Linux. I noticed one thing while starting armitage by going Application → kali linux → Exploitation Tools → Network Exploitation → armitage . There i got an error "Could not connect to database." If you are using first time Armitage on Kali linux then there are two way to run successfully armitage on your system. I will explain both separately.

8. Now be ready to start your work Here we are going Host →Nmap scan →Quick scan (OS Detect)
9. Here we need to write a range of victim IP address I am putting C grade range of IP so armitage will detect victim IP. This scan will be more easy if you know the victim IP address. There are many way to know the victim IP address we will discuss about it later.
10. Scan completed just click ok
