Creating Our Lab Environment (or our own
1

2
00:00:01,979 --> 00:00:04,580
special little place to hack).
2

3
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:06,080
What we're going to do here is, we're
3

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,250
going to actually download a program
4

5
00:00:07,250 --> 00:00:08,690
called VirtualBox. We're going to go to
5

6
00:00:08,690 --> 00:00:10,879
virtualbox.org, and we're going to download
6

7
00:00:10,879 --> 00:00:13,040
the latest version. VirtualBox is a
7

8
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,690
virtualization software. It allows us to
8

9
00:00:14,690 --> 00:00:16,099
put multiple pieces of operating systems
9

10
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:18,230
on a single piece of physical hardware.
10

11
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:20,029
Now, some people ask why do we use
11

12
00:00:20,029 --> 00:00:21,949
virtual machines. Well, one of the reasons
12

13
00:00:21,949 --> 00:00:23,180
for me to use virtual machines in this
13

14
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:24,680
environment, is because we want to make
14

15
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,090
sure that we're not doing any attacking
15

16
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:28,849
or cracking on a live network. The way
16

17
00:00:28,849 --> 00:00:30,920
laws work in the United States, hacking
17

18
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,119
is considered illegal, as well as many
18

19
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:33,890
other countries. Now, if you own the
19

20
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:35,000
network, or you have permission of the
20

21
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,860
network owner in writing, you can then
21

22
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:39,589
hack those networks legally. In this case,
22

23
00:00:39,589 --> 00:00:40,879
since we're building our own network,
23

24
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:42,769
we'll have the legal rights to hack that
24

25
00:00:42,769 --> 00:00:44,390
network, and therefore we don't have the
25

26
00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:46,549
police knocking at our door. So for my
26

27
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:48,500
penetration testing lab, I actually use a
27

28
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:50,479
Macbook Pro. This allows me to have
28

29
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,470
something that's portable that I can
29

30
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:53,030
carry with me when I go teach classes,
30

31
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:54,650
but it also is enough power to do what
31

32
00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:56,180
I'm going to want to do. It allowed me to
32

33
00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,379
run four or five or six different
33

34
00:00:57,379 --> 00:00:59,390
operating systems at once. We can run
34

35
00:00:59,390 --> 00:01:02,330
things like Windows, Linux, UNIX, or even
35

36
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:04,549
Mac OSX on top of these virtual machines.
36

37
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:06,140
First thing we do is we're gonna go to
37

38
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:09,110
virtualbox.org. At virtualbox.org, we're going
38

39
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:10,610
to download the latest version. As of
39

40
00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:12,770
today, that's version 5.1. Once you click
40

41
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:14,330
on the download button, you'll see where
41

42
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:16,220
the operating systems are listed. If you
42

43
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:18,230
have Windows, click on that. I have Mac, so
43

44
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:19,670
I'm going to choose OSX, and if you've
44

45
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:21,350
Linux click on that one. Now, at some
45

46
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:22,730
points during this video, and other
46

47
00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:24,380
videos in this course, you're going to
47

48
00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:26,390
notice that time sort of fast forwards
48

49
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:28,160
on you. The reason is I don't want you
49

50
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,300
have to sit there and wait while my
50

51
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,370
system downloads, or my system processes
51

52
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:33,560
something, so I'm going to compress those
52

53
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,870
by going two or three or four times as
53

54
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:37,670
fast. If you find that your system hasn't
54

55
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:39,140
caught up to that, that's fine. Just hit
55

56
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:40,730
pause, wait for your system to catch up,
56

57
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:42,260
and then you can restart the video at
57

58
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:44,120
that point. Once you've downloaded the
58

59
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,440
installer, you're going to go ahead and
59

60
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,030
run through the installation program.
60

61
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:49,190
It's as simple as hitting continue and
61

62
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:50,450
install as we work our way through it.
62

63
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:53,510
Now, at the end of the installation, it's
63

64
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:54,320
asking if you wanna remove the
64

65
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,729
installation file, which is fine because
65

66
00:01:55,729 --> 00:01:57,110
you don't need the Installer anymore,
66

67
00:01:57,110 --> 00:01:58,460
you've already installed it to your
67

68
00:01:58,460 --> 00:01:59,840
system.
68

69
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,820
So, now that we have VirtualBox
69

70
00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:03,679
installed as our virtual sandbox for our
70

71
00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:05,539
hacking efforts, we need to move on to
71

72
00:02:05,539 --> 00:02:06,979
the installation of an attack platform.
72

73
00:02:06,979 --> 00:02:09,110
In our case, that's going to be Kali
73

74
00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:11,319
Linux.
