Now to practice some of the attacks that we're going to learn in the future lectures.
You need to have a target machine or a victim machine.
So this is a computer that you're going to target and try to hijack and test the attacks that you are
going to learn against.
So you can do this against any machine.
Well I highly recommend installing target machines as virtual machines.
This is great because it's want to rake a real computer for you.
If you actually break something.
It's also very easy to fix.
Even if you have a computer that you don't care about it's very easy to fix.
Virtual machines you can just remove it and reinstall it or restore a snapshot and go back to it.
Now as we all know Windows is a very common operating system.
It's used by a lot of people.
So in this lecture I'm going to show you how to install Windows 10 as a virtual machine so that we can
test some of the attacks that were going to learn in the future against it.
So we'll use this machine with scenarios that mimic normal users.
That is just using their windows to browse the Internet or do whatever normal people do with their machines.
So Microsoft has actually released free free versions or a free virtual machines of windows that you
can download and use.
These are free and you're allowed to download them and were downloading them from Microsoft's website.
So you need to go into this late to download it.
As you can see here this is the same leg.
So make sure you select what host operating system you have house of your windows.
You click on the windows.
If you have the Mac and if you have any on the next I have a Mac so I clicked on good Mac and from here
make sure you select Windows 10 stable.
And make sure you select the virtual box image.
So these are all applications that allow you to install virtual machine is at the moment we are using
virtual box for everything.
So just make sure you use the birchell box image.
Once you do that.
You will have as a file like this one I compress it and you will get this fire right here.
Now this is a virtual machine a virtual box virtual machine file.
So I'm going to double click.
And as you can see now tool box is asking me to import this machine and r.d. said all the settings right
here now.
And part of the way it is and then modify the settings.
Now as you can see here I have my windows installed right here and was just going to put into it by
actually Unger modify the settings for us because I remember I think it gave it for doing so.
And I think that's too much.
So I'm going to go to.
Here.
And also this to give to geeks.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I'll start it.
And as you can see windows started straight away.
No need to install it.
It's already installed and ready and given to us by Microsoft.
Now if you get asked for a password then the password is literally password with a capital P and is
zero instead of the URL followed by an escalation mark.
Now as you can see we have a fully workin Windows machine right here Windows 10.
So it's our second victim.
Our target machine.
