As mentioned earlier, the course will be very practical. In order to be able to do this, we need a lab where we can learn and execute attacks.

To do this, we're going to use a program called a virtual box. Virtual Box is a program that lets us install other Operating Systems inside our own computers.


So if you have a computer, and want to install other computers on your computer, you can get a virtual machine.


A Virtual Machine or VM (this is what I'll be calling it from now) is very important for us to use to set up for penetration testing and to set up the lab where we will hack from.


It's important to note now that the VM is like a completely separate work machine.


You have nothing to lose by installing an operating system (OS) inside a VM. The OS will perform just like you installed it on a separate laptop.


So basically instead of having four or five computers/laptops around us so we can try to hack into them, we are going to install these computers as VMs inside our own computer.


Now, this may be a bit vague, but once we do this it will become very clear to you how this is going to work.


So basically, we're gonna have three computers inside our main computer. For me, my main computer is Windows 10 and I am not going to do anything with that. This is just my OS where I make these posts from.

Then we'll have an attacker OS, and it will be Kali Linux, (I'll explain about Kali Linux in a bit).


Once we install that, then we will install two victims.


Victim 1 will be a normal Windows OS and Victim 2 will have an operating system called Metasploitable. (I will talk about what it is.)


So basically we will have our own OS, and then we will have three separate machines in this host OS, which are the ones we want to use for penetration testing attacks. And they will be Kali Linux (the machine we use to attack) and 2 other victim machines or OSs.

All this is possible, because of the program Virtual Box.

Virtual box is free and you can download it from the link below.

First of all download and install Virtual Box from [url] https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads[/url] (It's about 210mb for Windows users.)

There is a virtual box for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating system.

Download the virtual box version compatible with your operating system.

It's simple and easy.

Now, in the next few lectures, we have to learn how to install Kali Linux and the two victim machines.

I will talk about what these machines do and why we are gonna use them.

If you're done installing Virtual Box, please indicate by leaving a comment.

Thanks all!

I have installed the VM on my windows. You can continue with the lesson OP. Thanks.

magimazda:

OP is still here o. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting guys. I'll be posting at least once a day from now till we finish. If I can't, I'll tell you.

Thank you so much for your patience.

Ok sir I thought you had left us just like that.

RTSC:

I won't be surprised if Nigeria supplies them electricity.

Abi. Anything is possible when a country's name starts with NIGE___

I have ATIKUlated OBIdiently

Have you done the same?

Even APC have ATIKUlated OBIdiently unknowingly

Rubbish.

APC now resorting to predictions to calm their nerves.

I have ATIKUlated OBIdiently and will cast my vote for them come Saturday.

Have you?

They must go by Saturday.

Useless thieves claiming saints.

Have you ATIKUlated yet?

You have just tomorrow to join the train.

This OP does not have work. You people just go to instagram and grab anybody's picture and drop it here all in the name of blogging.
Seems the MODs are so helpless

Who is this idiot spamming all threads with fixed scam?? Where are the MODs when you need them to do the needful

I think the OP is high.

Wetin concern PHCN with Niger Republic??

Wonderful development. They are all terrorists and murderers and blood suckers.

Waste of time.

We have ATIKUlated OBIdiently

APC losing on all fronts. It's all over for the demonic party.

I advice you to ATIKUlate OBIdiently if you haven't done so.

somehow:
Can't make sense out of your nonsense

That's because you don't have sense

DrBrainstorm:
I visited the link. Where did you later conclude at?

Software Engineering.

somehow:
Get educated, their grouse is for March 2nd not Feb 16.

When you ATIKUlate OBIdiently, it means you have rejected anything connected to the broom.

I opened a thread on this same question earlier this year. I will post the link https://www.nairaland.com/4966733/ethical-hacking-vs-software-engineering

Everybody knows Tinubu is a drug addict

Man of the moment

Our incoming President.

Nice one madam

Let us get this country moving again

I have ATIKUlated OBIdiently.

Have you done the same?

lol

Now we know the pretenders and the contenders

Useless lot. They look like APC supporters.

Instead of them to ATIKUlate OBIdiently.

Ndi nzuzu

immhotep:

Support "Back To Daura"

We have been ATIKUlated OBIdiently to Aso rock

madridguy:
Amosun your strong strong head won't lead you to anywhere.

It is not yet too late to join the winning team

Ogun people have ATIKUlated OBIdiently

Get well soon and RIP to the dead

How credible is the source of this news?

If true, it is a welcome development.

We don't need money to make the right decisions during the elections. We must and will make the right choice this time around.

Not surprised.
Birds of a feather flock together.
