 Introduction:
z
 What is VirtualBox? VirtualBox is a general-purpose virtualization tool for x86 and x86-64 hardware,
targeted at server, desktop, and embedded use, that allows users and administrators to easily run
multiple guest operating systems on a single host.
 Why does VirtualBox matter? VirtualBox makes it possible for administrators and developers to
quickly spin up full-blown operating systems without having to use dedicated hardware, thereby
saving budget on buying hardware.
 Who does VirtualBox affect? VirtualBox affects anyone who needs to easily deploy a VM to be
used as a server, desktop, testing environment, or teaching tool.
 When is VirtualBox available? VirtualBox was first released January 15, 2007 and has been in
constant development since. The platform's 5.1.28 iteration was released September 14, 2017.
 How can I get VirtualBox? VirtualBox can be downloaded and installed on Linux, Windows, or
macOS. On the Linux platform, VirtualBox can be found within the standard repositories, so
installation can be done using your distribution's package manager.
 The main concept of VirtualBox :
z
When using a traditional you need to install the operating system on a physical machine for
evaluating software that cannot be installed on your current operating system. Oracle
VirtualBox is what you need in this case, instead of reinstalling software on your physical
machine. VirtualBox is designed to run virtual machines on your physical machine without
reinstalling your OS that is running on a physical machine. One more VirtualBox advantage is
that this product can be installed for free. A virtual machine (VM) works much like a physical
one. An OS and applications installed inside a VM “think” that they are running on a regular
physical machine since emulated hardware is used for running VMs on VirtualBox. Virtual
machines are isolated from each other and from the host operating system. Thus, you can
perform your tests in isolated virtual machines without any concerns of damaging your host
operating system or other virtual machines. The use of VirtualBox contains the following
sections:
● How to set up VirtualBox?
o Enabling CPU virtualization feature
o Downloading the VirtualBox installer
o Running the installer and defining the installation options
● Deploying a new VM
o Creating a virtual machine
o Installing a guest OS
 Operating Systems Supported by VirtualBox
z
VirtualBox supports a long list of host and guest operating systems. A host OS is
the operating system installed on a physical machine, on which VirtualBox is
installed. A guest OS is an operating system installed on a virtual machine running
inside VirtualBox. VirtualBox can be installed on Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris,
and FreeBSD. On VirtualBox you can run VMs with Windows, Linux, macOS,
Solaris, FreeBSD, Novell Netware, and other operating systems.

Setting up the VirtualBox:

Explore how to set up VirtualBox on Windows. The process of VirtualBox
installation is not difficult and is similar for all supported operating systems.
 Enable CPU virtualization features
z
First, you need to enable hardware virtualization features on your CPU (Central
Processor Unit) such as Intel VT-X or AMD-V in UEFI/BIOS of your physical
computer. Otherwise, if you run 64-bit guest operating systems, you can get the
error: VT-x is not available. If Hyper-V is installed on your Windows machine,
uninstall Hyper-V before installing VirtualBox (otherwise Hyper-V will block
hardware virtualization extensions needed by VirtualBox to run VMs). The majority
of modern processors support hardware virtualization.

example on where to
enable the CPU
Virtualisation features.

 Downloading the VirtualBox installer

z
Go to the official website to download the VirtualBox installer for your operating system
(Windows in this case). If you are looking for how to set up VirtualBox on mac, download the
OS X installer. You can also download older versions, for example, version 5.2. VirtualBox
5.2 supports 32-bit hosts while VirtualBox 6.0 doesn’t.

Run the VirtualBox

installer. The installation
wizard that has a GUI
(graphical user interface)
should appear.

Select the manner in which After finishing

 Features of Kali Linux
z

 Kali Linux

 Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution that comes with a

number of pre-installed tools such as Nmap, Aircrack-ng, and
Wireshark to help with information security tasks such as ethical
hacking. If we are a security enthusiast or a beginner ethical hacker.
 Kali Linux was developed by a well-known information security
company called Offensive Security. It is mainly designed for Digital
forensic and Penetration testing.
 z

It is for those people who work in the cybersecurity and analysis fields. Kali Linux's official
website is Kali.org. It became quite famous after appearing in Mr Robot series. It was not
designed for general purposes; it should be used by professionals or individuals familiar with
Linux/Kali.
Kali Linux is used by professional penetration testers, ethical hackers, cybersecurity
experts, and individuals who understand how to utilize Kali Linux. On the other hand, Kali
Linux is the best toolkit if you are a professional penetration tester or are learning penetration
testing.
