Hands-On-Hacking "Breach" virtualbox configuration

Marc Neugebauer

What is the recommended network configuration of the "Breach1 Box" and Kali Linux in Virtualbox?

I configured both to bridged adapter and get totally different scan results as shown in the video.

Nikto does not even find port 80 and I can't reach the website on 192.168.110.140 neither. If I do a ifconfig in Breach with User Blumbergh i get the ipaddress 192.168.110.140 though.

Greetings, @Marc-Neugebauer

The Breach VM is set to a static IP, so it doesn't matter if you make the adapter Bridged, or Host-only, or NAT, or anything else, you won't be able to contact the Breach VM unless your other devices share an IP/Subnet scheme.

So if I have 2 machines, Kali and Breach, they must both be on the same network (bridged, NAT, Host-only, etc) AND they must both have an IP that starts with 192.168.110 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Breach has a static IP of 192.168.110.140 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Kali must be set to something like 192.168.110.141 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Keep in mind 2 devices can't share the same IP.

Once you have that squared away, you should be able to scan Breach.

I hope that helps,
Daniel

@daniel-lowrie87 Thanks helps a lot i was wondering if it was a subnet problem. Though the website issue distracted me.
