Networked Virtual machines

Well like promised here is some more examples on how to hack inside virtual machines.

After you have installed virtual box and atleast two operating systems you can do a lot of things with them but the most important thing you must know how to do is to put them in the same network and let them communicate. For this tutorial i have used backtrack and windows xp in the network.
before you boot into one of your two operating systems you have to tell virtual box to connect them, and this can only be done before booting.  so open up virtual box and select one os and go into its network settings, on the adapter1 select nat and on adapter 2 select Host-only adapter.

after you have done this you can boot up your operating systems and start your hacking. for starters you must find each of the machines ip addresses for windows you can use the ipconfig command in command prompt and for backtrack the ifconfig command will work perfectly. after you have the ip adresses you can start hacking, for starters you can do a port scan on windows with nmap scanner preinstalled on your backtrack os.
I would suggest switching off the firewall in windows as this can stop alot of your hacking attempts. after you get bored with that you can switch on the firewall and find some more vulnerabilities.

Till next Happy Hacking
