Installing Linux

For the rest of the year we will also want a Linux Virtual Machine

We are going to use Kali Linux, which is a OS designed for pen-testing and security analysis. We will also install Docker, which we will use in later Lab tasks

Virtual Box, VMWare

The Uni uses Virtual Box, I prefer to use VMWare (don't ask) If you are setting this up on our own machines you can use whatever virtualisation platform you want. (VMWare, Virtual Box, WSL, Hyper V) Ask if you need help

You can see instructions for getting a Free, Legitimate copy of VMWare Pro (Windows / Mac / Linux) below
