Setup

In order to align the setups, some adaption of vmware workstation is needed.

Creating new subnets (30 min)

This is done in "Virtual network editor" in vmware workstation. See e.g. sysnettechsolutions for a guide and images.

  1. Create a new subnet called vmnet111, with the following parameters

    • Host-only network
    • No DHCP service
    • Subnet IP: 192.168.111.0, netmask: 255.255.255.0
    • Connect a host virtual adapter
    • If you are not allowed to call it vmnet111, call it something else, and make a note of it.

  2. Create a new subnet called vmnet112, with the following parameters

    • Host-only network
    • No DHCP service
    • Subnet IP: 192.168.112.0, netmask: 255.255.255.0
    • Connect a host virtual adapter
    • If you are not allowed to call it vmnet112, call it something else, and make a not of it.

  3. Verify that vmnet8 is a "NAT" network with DHCP enables.

    IP range is not important.

Importing router (1h)

In vmware, virtual appliances are usually bundled as .ova files. The official import docs are here and the same just with images from informatiweb.

The network we are building is shown below

router-nat network

  1. Download the ova file from here

    Note that .ova files a usually large, so downloading in wireless might take a long time, especially is others a saturating the connection at the same time. Consider download using cable or share using USB.

  2. Import .ova file

  3. Check the settings for the new VM

    • Network adapter: connect to vmnet8
    • Network adapter 2: connect to vmnet111
    • Network adapter 3: connect to vmnet112

  4. Start the new vm

  5. Connect the virtual Kali machine to vmnet111 (aka. USR_LAN)

  6. Check ip adresses and routing, ad verify you have internet access.

  7. Put the info in a shared doc.

An extra VM (30 min)

  1. Reuse the setup from above

  2. Create a new VM

    This could be a second Kali live

  3. Connect it to vmnet112 (aka. SRV_LAN)

  4. Ping one kali from the other, and use wireshark to document that no NAT'ing occurs between the two VMs.

  5. Put documentation in a shared doc.
