The first operating system that we're going to install in our lab is called Linux, see, throughout
the course we're going to use a number of hacking tools.
You can install each of these tools manually, or you can do what most hackers do, including myself,
and save time and effort and use an operating system designed for hacking.
We're going to use an operating system called Linux.
It's the next distro based on Debian.
And the only difference between Karlee and the actual original Debian Linux distro is the fact that
Carly has a lot of hacking and penetration testing tools, preinstalled and pre configured in it.
Therefore, once you install Carly, you will have access to so many hacking tools without the need
to install or configure any of them, which will save you a lot of time and a lot of effort.
Now, just like any other operating system, you can install it as a main machine or as a virtual machine.
Now I'm going to install it as a virtual machine because like I explained in the previous lecture,
we will not lose any functionality by using operating systems as virtual machines.
And it comes with a lot of benefits because it's completely isolated from our computer that we always
use.
So if we break the virtual machine or if we want to delete it and reset it, it will not affect our
main operating system.
Now, the first thing that you want to do is download the virtual image of Linux so you can download
it from the resources of this lecture to access the resources of the current lecture.
We're going to scroll down to the lecture.
We're going to click on the resources icon, and then we're going to click on the resource that we want.
Now, before going ahead with this, I want to highlight something that is very, very, very important.
So please pay attention.
This is custom image that I made for my courses.
It is smoother and faster than the original one.
It fixes a number of bugs and it contains a number of extra programs that we need for this course and
are not included in the original release.
You do not have to use this custom image, you can use the original one, you can even use just a normal
distribution as long as you know how to manually install all of the missing programs and apply the fixes
that I did myself.
And you can see a full list of them here on the left.
Therefore, if you ask us a question in the Q&A section and you are not using the custom image, the
first thing that we will ask you is to use the custom image that we made for you because we know the
original one is broken and we will not know the changes you made in order to fix it.
So if you have a 64 bit computer downloaded from one of these links or if you have a 32 bit computer,
then download the 32 bits version from here while waiting on the download.
Check out our VIP community right here and our YouTube channel.
We actually post hacking content on it regularly, so you'll probably find this very, very useful.
So make sure you subscribe to stay updated with the latest stuff that we posted here.
Once the download is complete, you'll be ready to install Carly as a virtual machine.
I will walk you through that in the next lecture's.
But before moving on, we need to enable virtualization to run virtual machines.
You only need to do that if you are running Windows or Linux.
You do not need to do this if you're running Apple Mac OS as Apple computers come with virtualization
enabled by default.
So skip the rest of the structure.
If you're using an Apple computer, if you're using Windows or Linux, then continue with me to see
how to enable it.
So on Windows before enabling it.
If you want to check, if it is already enabled, you're going to have to go to the start menu.
We're going to look for the task manager.
I have it right here.
I'm going to click on more details, I'm going to go on performance, and if you look in here besides
virtualization, you can see in my case it's saying disabled.
So we're going to have to enable it.
But it's saying enabled for you.
Then you can skip the rest of the structure and move on to the next lecture.
If it's disabled, then continue with the structure to learn how to enable virtualization.
So to do that, we're going to have to first restart the computer.
And as it's booting, as it's starting, you're going to have to price a key combination, usually one
of the keys from your keyboard to enter the BIOS settings and from there we can enable it.
So let me show you how to do it.
Keep in mind, you only need to do this if virtualization is disabled.
If it's enabled, then you can simply skip this and continue with the rest of the course.
Entering the BIOS settings varies depending on the computer that you have and depending on the motherboard
on the right.
Here I have a table of the most common computers along with the buttons that you need to press in order
to enter the bio settings.
So as soon as you turn on the computer or restarted, you'll need to press the button relevant to your
computer in here in order to enter the bio settings.
Once you're there, you want to make sure you enable virtualization.
So let me show you how to do this on a real computer.
This is a Lenovo computer, therefore, based on the table that I just showed you, I will need to press
F2 as soon as I turn on this computer in order to enter into its bio settings.
So first, I'm going to hit the power button to turn it on.
And as it's being turned on, I'm going to keep pressing F2 to enter the settings.
Unperfect, as you can see, I am in the settings right now.
Now, keep in mind, depending on your computer, the settings might look different than what I have
in here.
The main thing you need to keep in mind is to enable virtualization.
This option can be found in a different window in any of these windows or tabs.
But the main thing you want to keep in mind is to look for an option called virtualization, BTX, MTV
or any of the options in here and enable it.
So as you can see, for me, the first window that I see is just an information window.
It doesn't really allow me to modify anything.
Now you can use the keyboard to navigate between these windows or these tabs.
So I'm going to press the right arrow to go to the configuration window.
And in here, the only thing that I want to modify is enter virtualization technology.
So I'm going to use the down arrow to navigate to that and I'm going to hit enter to change the setting
for us down to set it to enable and hit enter again to select it.
Now, if you're not sure about how to use this interface, because like I said, you might actually
get a different interface.
Keep an eye on the instructions that you see at the bottom as they tell you exactly how to navigate
and modify the settings.
Now, I'm done with the configuration window.
I'm going to press the right arrow again to go into the security tab.
We're going to go to the exit.
So, again, I'm going to press the right arrow again and I'm going to select the first option exit
saving settings.
That's going to ask me, do I really want to do this?
I'm going to say, yes, the computer will restart with virtualization enabled.
So in the next lecture's when we get to installing virtual machines, these virtual machines will run
with no issues.
If you've done everything properly now, if you go again to the task manager.
Go to performance, you should see that virtualization is enabled.
If you couldn't do that, please ask us in the Q&A section and we'll be happy to help you keep in mind
that you only need to do this if you're running Windows or Linux as the host computer on your main computer.
If you're running Apple, Mac OS, then you do not need to do this and you should have skipped this
part.
