We're going to get started with building 1
our hacking lab. Now, we've already 2
installed VirtualBox, but now we need to 3
install some attack and victim platforms. 4
For our attack platform, we're going to use 5
Kali Linux. So first, I'm going to open up 6
our web browser, and we're going to go 7
to kali.org. K A L I . O R G. Once we get to 8
Kali, we're going to go to the downloads 9
link, and we're going to click on the 32 10
bit ISO. The reason I'm choosing the 11
32-bit is because that will work on both 32 and 12
64-bit systems. Kali Linux is a 13
distribution that is created by Offensive 14
Security, and it has a lot of the tools that 15
we're going to use throughout this 16
course, and there's hundreds and hundreds 17
of tools packed into Kali Linux, so it's 18
a really good ethical hacking platform. 19
Now that it's finished downloading, we're going 20
to close our web browser, and we'll go to 21
our downloads. You can see here I have 22
kali 2016.2 i386, that's going to be the 23
ISO file we're going to use. Now we're 24
going to open up our VirtualBox. Once 25
it's open, we're going to click on new to create a 26
new virtual machine. The type of machine 27
we're going to create is a Kali Linux 28
box. I'm going to type Kali for the name, select 29
Linux as the type, and we're using 32-bit 30
Debian for our operating system, which is 31
what Kali is based on. Next we'll hit 32
continue, we're going to give it two 33
gigabytes of memory, which is twenty- 34
forty eight megabytes, and we're not 35
going to add a hard disk. It's going to give us a 36
warning about this, we'll just tell it to 37
continue. Now we have a basic machine 38
setup, but we have a couple of changes we 39
want to make. The first one is we want 40
to click on System, and I want to go to 41
processor, and I want to enable PAE. The 42
next one is I want to go to Storage, and 43
I want to select the empty CD-ROM disk. 44
In this case, I'm going to choose my 45
virtual disk, go to my downloads folder, 46
and select Kali Linux, and then hit OK. 47
Everything will be set up for us to use 48
Kali as a live distribution off of the 49
DVD ROM. Hit Start, 50
enter the live distribution. 51
now if we want to fill the screen, we'll 52
go up to view at the top, and go to full 53
screen mode, which is host key f, on a Mac 54
that is your command key. It will give 55
you a warning, and now we have a working 56
functional Kali Linux machine. Now when 57
Kali is in full screen, if you want to go 58
back to your other environment on 59
Macintosh, you hit command tab, and on 60
windows you'll hit alt tab, and you can 61
cycle through your windows just like 62
that. In our next lesson, we're going to 63
start installing some victim platforms.
