I am using metasploit and I tried to use hail mary with armitage to expose a remote computer on a different network than the one I am using with metasploit. I downgraded to metasploit 3.7 and tried the same thing with db_autopwn. It still did work. I was not getting any meterpreter sessions, however there where several exploits I could use. My question is do I need to portforward to exploit a remote computer with meterpreter or any other metasploit exploits. Also how do I do this. I know how to portforward.

Yes you need to portforward. Check the port that the payload uses and forward that port =)

do i still need to portforward if i am using armitage hail mary, i ask because it doesn't give me that option before hand.

or what about db_autopwn? the payloads are automatic right?

I just started using metasploit last month, so any detail would be greatly appropriated

The armitage is just to help you sort your exploits or? There is nothing about portforwarding, you need the portforwarding after you exploit your target.

I've done a quick search on db_autopwn and found this video: http://youtu.be/H5QshgliI54
At 1:41 you can see menu of db_autopwn (type db_autopwn -h to see it) and you can select a few payloads there.
