    Question Vitrualization?

    Hello, I want to install Oracle Virtual Box on my Kali computer so I can practice metasploit and various other tools in a virtual sandbox to not let them infect my drive because I have an actual windows installation (and so I don't get in trouble for attacking someone else's computer). I want to choose either Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" (Since Kali is Debian based), All distributions or Debian based Linux instructions. Which should I choose? The third?

    The choices are here:
    https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

    or here because for some reason I can not connect to the webpage above

    Thanks a lot.
    By the way, how can I communicate between two machines without a router? I read it was possible in a book but they didn't explain how. This would be great for keeping my attacks within my LAN

    If you are using Virtualbox you can network as many VM's as your host can handle. Since it is virtualized there is no need for a router, you can usually choose between Bridged, NAT, and Host-Only.

    If you are talking about getting traffic between two physical machines you can do that with a cross-over cable connecting the two machines but I'm not sure how well that would work to be honest since I've never tried it for this purpose.

    Your best option for this purpose is to use a normal pentest lab setup. Install a few Vulnerable os's in VirtualBox (vulnhub is good for the this, link below), set the network adapters for the VM's to NAT for connectivity between the hosts and get to hacking.

    Thanks a ton.

    Here's the problem I'm having, it says it needs libssl 0.9.8 to install Virtualbox, but I have version 1.0.0 and it will not allow. What do I do?

    Should I force downgrade?
