Zaid: Now to practice some of the attacks 2 2
that we're gonna learn in the future lectures, 3 3
you need to have a target machine or 4 4
a victim machine. 5 5
So this is a computer that you're going to target 6 6
and try to hack and test the attacks 7 7
that we're gonna learn against. 8 8
So you can do this against any machine 9 9
but I highly recommend installing 10 10
target machines as virtual machines. 11 11
This is great because it won't break 12 12
a real computer for you if you 13 13
actually break something, it's also very easy 14 14
to fix even if you have a computer 15 15
that you don't care about, it's very easy to fix 16 16
virtual machines, you can just remove it 17 17
and reinstall it or store a snapshot 18 18
and go back to it. 19 19
Now as we all know Windows is a very common 20 20
operating system, it's used by a lot of people 21 21
so in this lecture I'm gonna show you 22 22
how to install Windows 10 as a virtual machine 23 23
so that we can test some of the attacks 24 24
that we're gonna learn in the future against it. 25 25
So we'll use this machine with scenarios that 26 26
may make a normal user that is just 27 27
using their Windows to browse the internet 28 28
or do whatever normal people do 29 29
with their machines. 30 30
So Microsoft has actually released a free, 31 31
free versions or free virtual machines 32 32
of windows that you can download and use. 33 33
These are free 34 34
and you're allowed to download them 35 35
and we're downloading them from Microsoft's website. 36 36
So you need to go into this link 37 37
to download it, 38 38
as you can see here 39 39
this is the same link so make sure 40 40
you select what? 41 41
Host operating system you have 42 42
so if you Windows, you click on the Windows tab, 43 43
if you have Mac, on the Mac 44 44
and if you have Linux, on the Linux. 45 45
I have a Mac so I clicked on the Mac tab 46 46
and from here make sure you select Windows 10 stable 47 47
and make sure you select the VirtualBox image. 48 48
So these are all applications that 49 49
allow you to install virtual machines. 50 50
At the moment we're using VirtualBox 51 51
for everything so just make sure 52 52
you use the VirtualBox image. 53 53
Once you do that 54 54
you'll have a zip file like this one, 55 55
uncompress it 56 56
and you will get this file right here. 57 57
Now this is a virtual machine, a VirtualBox 58 58
virtual machine file so I'm gonna 59 59
double click it 60 60
and as you can see now VirtualBox is asking me 61 61
to import this machine 62 62
and its already set up the settings 63 63
for it right here now we can import it the way it is 64 64
and then modify the settings. 65 65
Now as you can see here I have my windows 66 66
installed right here 67 67
and I'm just gonna boot into it by, 68 68
actually I'm gonna modify the settings first 69 69
'cause I remember I think it gave it four gigs of RAM 70 70
and I think that's too much so 71 71
I'm gonna go in to 72 72
here 73 73
and I'll set this to gig, two gigs 74 74
and yep 75 75
into that okay 76 76
and I'll start it 77 77
and as you can see Windows starts things right away 78 78
no need to install it, its already installed 79 79
and ready and given to us by Microsoft. 80 80
Now if you get asked for a password 81 81
then the password is literally Passw0rd! 82 82
With a capital P 83 83
and a zero instead of the O followed 84 84
by an exclamation mark. 85 85
Now as you can see we have a fully working 86 86
Windows machine right here, Windows 10 87 87
so it's our second victim or target machine.
