1
00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:04,820
After learning multiple methods to gather information about social media accounts.

2
00:00:04,820 --> 00:00:10,730
In this lecture, I would like to show you how can you set up your Osint virtual machine?

3
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:17,810
So we will be downloading and installing Trace Labs Virtual Machine, which is a customized version

4
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:21,440
of Kali Linux focused only on Osint tools.

5
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:30,320
Now, Kali Linux is a Linux distribution that's used by hackers, cybersecurity specialists, etc. now

6
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,250
the question is why would we even use such a distribution?

7
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:38,720
Well, the first reason is because it's a pre-configured environment.

8
00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:45,290
So this virtual machine comes with pre-installed tools and configurations specifically tailored for

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,370
Osint tasks.

10
00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:51,440
And this will save us a lot of time and effort in setting up the environment manually.

11
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:55,790
And the second reason is because of the tool compatibility.

12
00:00:56,420 --> 00:01:02,480
So this virtual machine is equipped with a selection of tools commonly used in Osint investigations.

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,250
Because there are many tools that work on Linux and doesn't work on windows.

14
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:14,270
So at the end of each section, I'm going to show you how to use the tools in the virtual machine to

15
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:21,360
automatically carry out Osint tasks, such as extracting users from a website, downloading an Instagram

16
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,370
profile, or searching for a username across hundreds of websites.

17
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:32,430
So the first thing we need is a program called VirtualBox that we also use to create our sock puppet

18
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:33,540
virtual machine.

19
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:39,360
So you can basically click on Windows Host to download the version that's compatible with windows.

20
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360
Or if you are using Mac, then you can download the Mac version.

21
00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:48,150
And the second thing we need is the virtual machine, which we will download from Trace Labs.

22
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:50,910
So I'm going to click on Download OVA.

23
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:58,230
And then I'm going to click on this link which will redirect me to their GitHub page.

24
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,580
And then I'll download the file that ends with OVA.

25
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:08,730
Now in my case I have already downloaded this and it is in my download folder.

26
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,380
Here it is.

27
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,840
Here is the image and here is VirtualBox.

28
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:17,670
Now we have already installed VirtualBox, so we don't need to install it again.

29
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:24,420
And to import this image or the virtual machine to VirtualBox, all we have to do is double click on

30
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:24,870
it.

31
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:27,240
And this will run VirtualBox.

32
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,990
And it will ask for the configuration that we would like to set.

33
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:38,180
Now, as I said before, this is a preconfigured Cali distribution and this is why we see Cali org or

34
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:39,680
offensive security.

35
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:45,980
Of course we can change the name to Trace Labs or whatever, and then we can click on finish and then

36
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:47,360
the image will be imported.

37
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:51,800
After importing the image, I'm going to start it by clicking on start.

38
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,080
And after booting the image I'm going to enter the username and the password.

39
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,550
And the username is Osint.

40
00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:00,980
And the password is also Osint.

41
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:07,160
So I'm going to make the window a little bit bigger like this.

42
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:13,700
And you can see that right now we are running Linux inside windows.

43
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,040
So I can use my main operating system which is windows, and I can use Linux at the same time.

44
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:25,280
And this is the cool thing about virtualization.

45
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:29,930
You'll be able to use multiple operating systems at the same time.

46
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:37,310
In this video you have learned how to download and set up your Osint virtual machine that you are going

47
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:39,830
to use it in future lectures.

48
00:03:39,860 --> 00:03:42,740
Don't worry about this new operating system.

49
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:46,580
I'll teach you how to use it step by step in the next lecture.
