1
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:06,330
So it's important that you practice what you've learned while the course develops, and for that reason

2
00:00:06,810 --> 00:00:08,220
you should build your own lab.

3
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:12,900
So don't worry, I'm going to help you build it step by step.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,440
This is going to be your own lab so you can customize it the way you want.

5
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:20,250
But I will teach you each step, one at a time.

6
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:29,220
So before you even jump to any conclusion, all the lab environments will cost you zip, nada, nothing,

7
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:32,650
only your time and perhaps patients.

8
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:35,790
So first, let's have a look at the requirements.

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,240
When you prepare your lab, you should make sure that your setup will meet the basic system requirements.

10
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:49,990
Because we'll be using virtual machines and some pretty processor intensive tools.

11
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:57,400
I highly recommend that your system should be capable of handling at least two virtual machines at the

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,120
same time.

13
00:00:59,530 --> 00:01:00,490
It's over storage.

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,580
I don't want to give you, you know, just any random numbers about the size of available hard drive

15
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:08,830
space, but you really will need it.

16
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:13,420
If you don't have enough, you're probably going to face some problems.

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:15,160
Now for memory.

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,850
Insufficient memory fails suck, so I strongly advise using at least 16 gigabytes of RAM.

19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:30,790
For your processor, I think if if you're on this course, it means that you've probably got a good

20
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:32,980
enough processor to support virtualization.

21
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:40,590
Now, you should activate it from bio's, if this is the first time for you to actually start up with

22
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:41,600
a virtual machine.

23
00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:50,840
And what about for a hypervisor, VMware player, VMware workstation or virtual box, all of them are

24
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,030
going to be good options to build this lab on.

25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:02,570
You're going to watch me using virtual box because, wow, some intentionally vulnerable virtual machines

26
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,570
only work on virtual box.

27
00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:07,680
So I would highly recommend you do that, too.

28
00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:12,370
And finally, well, talk about your Internet access.

29
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:17,080
You are going to need Internet, but only when you're setting up the lab.

30
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:18,910
Otherwise, I don't think you're going to need it.

31
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,970
You can do it offline, but it'll be good to search for extra information.

32
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:27,820
So basically, the lab network will be all that.

33
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:33,290
You'll be using virtual box and network mode as hypervisor.

34
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:42,690
Then you will download and configure the virtual machines together, so let's get started first with

35
00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:43,710
a virtual box.
