1
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:10,940
As I mentioned this course is going to be highly practical.

2
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:17,830
Therefore you will need a lab a place where you can practice and experiment with the things that you're

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,690
going to learn in the course.

4
00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:28,340
Not only that but having a lab is essential for hackers or pen testers because let's say you discovered

5
00:00:28,430 --> 00:00:34,100
a new attack or you want to experiment with a new attack or you learn something new online and you want

6
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:34,950
to test it.

7
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:43,170
Then the perfect place for you to test this and practice hacking is a hacking or a testing lab not to

8
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:44,190
create a lab.

9
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:50,390
You just need a number of computers with different operating systems and you will need a number of networks.

10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,980
If your testing network attacks and if you're testing Web site attacks then you will need to install

11
00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:05,100
Web sites on these computers or you can do all of this inside your computer inside one machine and install

12
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,760
everything else as virtual machines.

13
00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:10,980
And this is what we're going to do.

14
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:17,010
So let's say you have your computer right here this is your main computer that you use every day to

15
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,530
check your e-mails or even to watch this course.

16
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:24,570
This computer might be running Windows OSX or Linux.

17
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:25,770
It doesn't really matter.

18
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:27,670
It can run any operating system.

19
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,970
You can keep all the programs that you love and like and install a virtualization software such as virtual

20
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:46,730
box virtualization software allow us to create a number of virtual computers inside your main computer

21
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:55,610
so we can have three or four or five or 10 computers all installed inside your main operating system

22
00:01:55,790 --> 00:01:58,850
inside your main computer.

23
00:01:58,850 --> 00:02:03,210
The really cool thing about this is you will not need a number of computers.

24
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:08,010
You can do everything inside a single computer.

25
00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:11,910
So what we're going to do is we're going to have a heart candy machine.

26
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:17,540
This is going to be the machine that we will use in order to hack into other machines.

27
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:24,480
We're going to install color Linux on it and we'll talk about what that is later on and we're going

28
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,640
to have to target machines.

29
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,210
These are machines that we're going to try to hack into and practice hacking against one of them is

30
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:38,640
going to be running windows and the other one is going to be running an operating system called me to

31
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:42,030
exploit Hubble and we will talk about that once we get to it.

32
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:50,930
Now it is very important to understand that you will not lose any functionality when you install an

33
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,790
operating system as a virtual machine.

34
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:59,150
You can use that machine exactly as if it's a real physical machine.

35
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:07,180
So the really cool thing about using virtual machines first of all you're not going to lose any functionality.

36
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:10,840
Second all the machines are going to be isolated.

37
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,430
So as we go through the course we're going to be trying to hack into these machines and we might actually

38
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:19,170
break one of them but that's fine.

39
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:21,500
It will not affect your host machine.

40
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:28,580
You will be able to easily fix this and go back to a snapshot of when the machine was working without

41
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:32,080
affecting your main computer.

42
00:03:32,090 --> 00:03:37,160
The other cool thing is that you'll be able to have a number of different versions of each of these

43
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:44,390
machines and you'll be able to change the configuration easily change the network settings or switch

44
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:49,430
between different states of these machines and so on.

45
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:57,990
So by using virtualization you will not lose any functionality but you will gain so many cool features.

46
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,850
And the main thing to keep in mind is your host machine your main computer will never be affected.

47
00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:06,730
It's completely isolated.

48
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:14,120
And if we break any of these machines nothing will happen to your precious computer that you use every

49
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:14,940
day.

50
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:20,960
And this way you can always use your host machine for daily use for checking emails watching the videos

51
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:28,270
doing whatever you do normally and then use your virtual machines for hacking and practicing the attacks.

52
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:29,980
And this is what I actually do.

53
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:36,080
So you can see I have my host machine running OSX and I never use this for hacking.

54
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,440
But right here I have virtual box and as you can see I have a number of operating systems installed

55
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,870
on it and I can literally start any of them by selecting the one I want.

56
00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:50,950
And just click on Start Now don't worry about this.

57
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,600
I will show you how to install these virtual machines as we go through the course.

58
00:04:56,060 --> 00:05:00,920
But what you need to do right now is download and install virtual box.

59
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,010
This program so you can download it from this page.

60
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:08,650
I'm going to include its link in the resources.

61
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:13,790
And like I said you can install virtual bugs on Windows OS X or Linux.

62
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:16,400
So it supports all operating systems.

63
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,210
Just pick your operating system from here.

64
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Download the relevant installer and install it and install on it is very very simple.

65
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:31,700
All you have to do is literally double click the installer click Next next next next and it will install

66
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,530
it for you.

67
00:05:33,530 --> 00:05:39,380
Once you started you'll see a program similar to this but you will not have any virtual machines here.

68
00:05:39,410 --> 00:05:46,550
So it will be empty and I will show you how to install all of these machines as we go through the course

69
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:49,910
one more thing to do.

70
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:57,470
As soon as you install virtual box is to download and install the extension pack.

71
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:06,160
This will give you better compatibility and it will allow you to use USP devices on the virtual machines

72
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:12,690
so you'll be able to use a USB mouse USB keyboard and you SB wireless adapters.

73
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:17,710
Again downloading and installing the extension pack is very very simple.

74
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,070
There is only one file.

75
00:06:19,090 --> 00:06:22,390
It's always the same file for all operating systems.

76
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:25,600
It's the same for Windows for Linux for OSX.

77
00:06:25,690 --> 00:06:28,820
You just have to click on the download link in here.

78
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:36,770
Once you download that I already have it downloaded so I have it right here and this file will only

79
00:06:36,770 --> 00:06:41,130
work if virtual box is installed successfully.

80
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:44,740
So first of all installed virtual box from these links right here.

81
00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:51,200
Like I said once you download it and install it and can see a Windows similar to this without these

82
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:58,460
machines right here we'll see how to install these later then download the extension pack from here.

83
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:06,260
You'll have its file similar to this file and only then you can double click this file and it'll automatically

84
00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:13,770
open in virtual box as you can see it's telling me that I want to install the extension pack.

85
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:19,570
It's given me the version which is the same version as the Virgin of the virtual box that I downloaded

86
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:24,490
it has to be the same version otherwise it will not work.

87
00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:26,740
I'm going to click on install.

88
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,270
We're going to agree to this license.

89
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:33,790
I'm going to put my password

90
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,890
and as you can see it's telling us that the extension pack is installed successfully.

91
00:07:43,940 --> 00:07:48,620
So now we can go ahead and install virtual machines in virtual box.
