In this lecture I will explain how to create the security union VM in virtual box and how to configure
the settings for it.
So to create the VM I have to click on you and then I will set the name of the VM to be security union
and the OS should be Linux and it should be open to because security union is using the open to distribution
of Linux and it should be here 64 bit.
And in order for the 64 bit option to be to appear in this menu you might need to go to bios and enable
virtualization.
So I have done that before and now I will click on
and then we have to set the memory or RAM for this machine and I recommend that you stick to for the
byte which is here for 0 9 6 and then I will click on Next.
Now we have to choose how to deal with the hard disk we and we have the options either to do not do
virtual hard disk or create a new hard disk or use an existing virtual hard disk and I will choose to
create a new hard disk.
Now we have these options for the hard disk file so the first one is VDI or virtual disk image which
is the native format of virtual box and the second one is the the HD or virtually hard disk which is
the native format of Microsoft Virtual ABC.
And finally the VM decay or virtual disk machine which is the virtual machine hard disk that is developed
by the umpire but it is supported by many virtualization software from other vendors including virtual
box.
There is no big difference between the three here in our lab but I will go with VM decay so I will click
on Next.
Now we have these options about how to deal with the storage on the hard disk or of the hard disk and
the first option is dynamically allocated.
And the second one is the fixed size option so the dynamically allocated or then quickly expanding disk
starts small and grows as needed until it reaches the maximum size you have allow for it.
So it does save disk space.
However in terms of performance it will increase disk fragmentation especially when writing large amount
of data to your VM which can degrade the performance of both the host and just operating systems.
And in this case using fixed size hard disk is beta.
So in production environment or in lab that you have a lot of writing or a lot of processes that writes
to the hardest.
You have to choose the fixed size.
But here I will use the dynamically allocated option just in order to save disk space.
So I will click on Next.
Now we have to set the size for the hard disk and it is by default here.
Think about.
But I recommend that you set it to 20 gigabyte and then I will click on Create so now we see that the
security union VM is created and it is now powered off.
And I have to go to set other settings for this machine like on the system here.
I will increase the number of sheep used to be two CB use and also on the network I will configure another
adapter.
And here see the first adapter which is attached to not so we can access the Internet using this adapter.
And we we also see that the Burmese gets Moody's set by default here to deny.
Which is OK because we will not use this adapter for sniffing traffic or capture rockets but we will
use the second adapter or adapter to for this purpose.
So I will enable this adapter and will I will attach it to internal network so that it can communicate
with other the amps here in virtual box in order to sniff or captured packets from this network.
And here we see that the name of the network is by default he said to Internet.
And here we must sadly promiscuous mood to be Hello James or Lord in order for this adapter to be able
to capture traffic that is passed on this German network.
Now I will click on OK.
But before that I will show you that here the configuration of the disk we see that the disk here is
the security only under the VM decay hard disk.
Now I will click on the OK so now in this picture we see that we have created these security union VM
and we have configured the settings of this VM and in the next picture I will start to install the security
union software or the OS for the security union on this VM.
