Prepare Metasploit
It is recommended to install Metasploit as it is described in the Metasploit documentation. If you run Kali Linux, you could also install it from the Kali Linux repositories using apt:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install metasploit-framework
AttackMate needs the RPC-daemon(msfrpcd) for communication with Metasploit. It is possible to protect the daemon with a password. The following example starts the msfrpcd with a password:
$ msfrpcd -P securepassword
After starting the msfrpcd it will listen on all interface at port 55553
