Before we infect a Windows 10 virtual machine for the first time with our newly created virus from Kalli,
we want to do a few steps of setup just to make it a little easier to do everything that we're going
to do in this section and in the next section on the command and control phase.
One of those things is we're going to add the ability to handle a U.S. B camera.
So if you look at your settings for your Windows 10, you're going to be able to see us be connection
down here.
We need to double click or click settings or click on the USB connection if it is disabled.
We want to turn it on.
To be able to turn it on and off.
We actually have to close our we have to shut down our windows machine all the way and power it off.
So what we're going to do is power off the Windows 10 computer all the way full, shut down, come to
the USP settings and we're going to enable the USP controller.
And let's go in and turn it the USB 2.0.
If you have already installed your virtual box guest or virtual box extinctions pack like we did back
in Section two when we installed virtual box software.
You're going to be able to turn on the USP controller.
If not, go back and check out that section to add that extension's packs so that you'll be able to
simulate a USB connection.
Because I have a Web cam with a USB connector here that I want to be able to connect to my virtual machine.
So I'm going to say, OK, there, I'm actually going to plug in my webcam.
If you have a webcam.
This is a good chance for you to go ahead and connect that.
So I have physically connected my webcam to my laptop.
Now, you can also use just the regular webcam that you have on your laptop.
But I've got my webcam here, and that one is connected to my laptop now so that I'll have another option
for a USP webcam.
I've turned on the USP controls and that a restart my Microsoft Windows 10 computer.
And when that computer starts back up, we're going to make two small changes that will give us the
ability to infect this machine a little bit more easily.
I mentioned about half of users out there don't use Internet antivirus software while they're surfing
the Internet.
We want to actually turn off the firewall and turn off the virus and threat protection that's built
into the regular windows.
Now, you may have already done this in the past because of a video game that had problems with the
Windows firewall.
I'm going to show you you want to turn that back on.
So we're going to log into the Windows 10 machine now with password zero r d exclamation.
That's p a ssw zero r d exclamation the windows password that comes with our Windows virtual machine
we downloaded.
And when Windows starts up, we're going to start a command prompt as administrator.
We're going to search for our CMPD XY.
Right.
Click it.
It runs administrator and we're going to run this command.
The net were the net.
S.H. gives us the acharn the ability to do some administrative tools, like turning on and off the firewall,
setting up.
Well, lots of options that we can do with S.H. That network show will let us to set all the profiles
to state off.
So we're gonna turn off the advanced firewall built into windows.
Then we're going to turn off virus and threat protection by searching for virus and turn it off in settings.
So we're gonna type C, M.D., the command prompt, Dudi XY, but we're not gonna run it regular, just
open.
We're gonna say run as administrator because we want to be able to administer certain functions here.
Click Yes.
And the command is net s h a DV firewall set.
All profiles is just one Leard State off.
And you do have to type this whole command correctly as well.
Make sure you get your spelling correct in there.
But Net S.H. Advanced Firewall set all profiles state off and Windows just says, OK, but you may get
a warning down here in your pop up messages that says that you've turned off the Windows firewall.
That happens from time to time.
Next, we're going to turn off virus and threat protection settings by typing in virus.
We're gonna find the virus and threat.
Protection settings.
Under Windows Defender.
And we're going to come to the settings.
And turn off real time.
And you may have to say, yes, what?
Turn off Real-Time protection.
And Cloud delivered protection.
I'd love to say yes.
And I'm going to turn off automatic sample submission as well.
There's also one other piece.
Now, you see the windows did pop up threat.
You need to turn on your virus protection.
We're going to see why that's important when we infect the machine here in just a moment.
But you can also go one step further and add some exclusions.
So the Windows defender won't scan some things.
This will just make it easier not to lose some files.
So if we want to add a folder, we can add an exclusion folder and we might just want to choose our
documents folder.
So there's a place that Windows won't look for viruses.
We're using that this first time as some training wheels.
You don't have to add the exclusion, but it's a nice extra touch to add in there with our virus protection
and threat settings turned off.
We will be able to run our virus and infect that Windows VM so that Caleigh can control it.
You do need to know that from time to time, Windows will automatically turn back on your firewall and
your virus and threat protection settings.
It definitely turns it back on every time you reboot and a newer Windows 10 machine.
So you'll just have to remember to run the that long command net.
S.H. Advanced Firewall set.
All profiles stayed off and do a search for your virus and threat protection settings by typing virus
down here and going to the settings and turning off both those two real time protections.
And it says that you're wired while your Windows firewall is turned off, your virus and threat protection
settings.
You are as vulnerable as around half to a third of all the pieces out on the Internet right now.
So it's time to strike with our Windows virus.
