Welcome back, class.
This is Bryson and I'm back with some updates for 2020 and newer versions of Caleigh Lennix.
But first, I want to take a quick second to say thank you to every one of the thousands of students
who signed up for real world ethical hacking, making us one of the top five percent of courses on all
of Udemy.
Thank you so much for signing up for this class and thank you for working through ethical hacking with
me.
Today, we're going to build our hands on Ethical Hacking Lab.
This is going to be a complete virtual lab built right on your computer that will help you practice
all of the ethical hacking exercises we'll do in this entire course safely, ethically and legally on
a computer that you own and control.
So a virtual machine is just a computer or an operating system running inside another computer.
So we're going to run an entire lab full of computers inside your laptop or desktop computer.
Virtual machines are great for hands on ethical hacking exercises.
And you can create news VIMS using completely free software.
Everything that we download in this section is going to be 100 percent free.
So let's start by laying the foundation for our virtual lab by downloading virtual box.
Virtual Box from Oracle is a piece of software that allows us to install multiple operating systems
on our regular laptop or desktop for Mac, Linux or Windows.
So if we'll go out to a virtual box dot org.
You'll see the trademark huge download box for a virtual box.
We're going to click download virtual box six point one and there are actually two things that we want
to download from the virtual box Web site.
We want to get virtual box six point whatever and virtue of the version.
No virtual box is current virtual box updates several times per year.
So if yours is significantly newer than six point one, you're in good shape.
I'll update if it gets very different.
Again, you download for Windows for Mac OS or OS 10.
And for Linux distributions, you can just click to download your particular version.
I'm downloading Mac OS 10.
In addition to installing virtual box, we're going to download install the virtual box extension pack.
That'll give us a little extra control of our virtual machines, allow us to add things like a Web cam
and USV devices to each of our virtual machines.
So after you've downloaded virtual box, let's download the virtual box extension pack.
And it's just one executable for all different platforms.
And once both of those are downloaded, we're just going to open them up.
So with virtual box on a Windows machine, it's important to remember that you want to right click and
go to run as administrator.
So on virtual box, when you're running the download that you just pulled from the virtual box Web site.
Right.
Click on Windows, go to run as administrator or you can control click on a Mac.
And say open, and that will let us open this, even though we downloaded it from the Internet and it'll
help us on Windows when we run as administrator.
It'll help us install the software successfully.
Follow the instructions for installing the software, just like you would any other software.
So I'm going to double click on my Mac for the virtual box package.
If you're prompted, enter your password, just enter the password for your machine.
Virtual box will take just a couple of moments to install.
You can close the installer and then come to your launcher or to your programs menu on a Windows machine.
Find where virtual bikes installed and run it.
And the first time you're on virtual box, we want to open that Oracle virtual box extension pack.
So going to come back down to my downloads.
And we can close the virtual box installer and find of Oracle virtual box extinction, pack DoubleClick
and run it.
And the oracle of virtual machine, virtual box extension pack.
We'll ask you a couple of questions while it runs.
But as long as you've got virtual box manager open, it will allow you to install that.
You may have to agree to a license.
You just scroll down to the bottom.
And read through this with a parent, with a guardian.
If you are under 18.
And once again, you may have to enter your password, and once the Oracle virtual black box extension
pack is installed successfully.
You're ready to install your first virtual machine.
And we're going to open up a Caleigh Linux virtual machine in the next lesson.
