Virtual Machine Hacking Lab

Follow the instructions below to set up your hacking lab.

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Get Your Number

Each student will have a unique IP number/address/settings, etc., for the hacking lab. 

To figure out your unique number, navigate to My Tools > Groups > and click the number under “Members.” 

This will show the list of team members (make sure the names are set to appear alphabetized by last name A-Z)

Your student number comes from the order of the list. In the example below, Blake Adams is #1, Julie Chen is #2, Solomon Hassan is #3, and Maria Zabala is #4.

· IP Address: 10.redteam[team number#].student[student number#].50

· For example, if you were on red team 1, and the fourth student alphabetically, you would input 10.redteam1.student4.50 for the IP address.

Step 2: Download the Two Virtual Machines

· Kali With OpenVAS  (Attack Machine) (7 GB) 

· Metasploitable  (Victim Machine) (1.3 GB)

Warning

Do not take the virtual machines off their host-only setting at any time.

Step 3: Configure the IP Settings

Once you get the virtualization software installed, use the following IP settings for the CMIT 386 virtual machines. For example, if you were on red team 1, and the fourth student alphabetically, you would input 10.redteam1.student4.50 for the IP address.

Kali Linux (Attack Machine)

To edit the IP configuration file on Kali, use: leafpad   /etc/networking/interfaces

· IP Address: 10.redteam#.student#.50

· Subnet Mask:  255.255.255.0

· Gateway:  N/A

Metasploitable (Victim Machine)  

To edit the IP configuration file on Metasploitable, use: gedit  /etc/networking/interfaces

· IP Address: 10.redteam#.student#.100

· Subnet Mask:  255.255.255.0

· Gateway: N/A
