‫Throughout the tutorial, we will do various applications related to finding and exploiting security
‫vulnerabilities of the Windows 7 operating system.
‫For this, we need a virtual Windows 7 computer with security vulnerabilities.
‫We will download the Windows 7 virtual computer as an image and add it to VirtualBox.
‫You can download the Windows 7 image file from the resources section of our course.
‫After downloading the Windows 7 image file, you can add it to the VirtualBox program by following the
‫steps below.
‫Add Windows 7 VirtualBox.
‫Open the VirtualBox program.
‫Click the import button on the screen that appears.
‫Navigate to the folder where the OVA file is located.
‫You can do this by clicking the folder icon next to the box labeled file.
‫Select the file.
‫Click open.
‫Click next to proceed to the next step.
‫This section contains general information about the virtual computer.
‫At the bottom of the window in the machine based folder section, we determine where the image file
‫will be installed.
‫My recommendation would be to collect all virtual computers under a single folder.
‫I use a folder called VMs on my computer and I create all my virtual computers here.
‫I go to the VMs folder, click Open Folder.
‫Click finish and wait for the import process to finish.
‫At the end of the import process, you can see that Windows 7 has been added to the virtual box menu.
‫Start the computer by clicking start.
‫Enter the username, password, username, administrator and password 1234QQQQQ capital q.
‫The virtual computer is ready to be used.
