If you can afford it, it’s probably better to give it at least 1024 MB of RAM. Unlike a VDI file it’s not only a virtual disk, but a full description of the virtual machine (including its virtual disk), so the only thing you need to do to create a virtual machine from it is to select File > Import Appliance in the main window of VirtualBox. The download link I provided earlier points to a ZIP archive containing a OVA file. The two Ubuntu VMs created Windows 7 machine Name the clone Ubuntu victim ,and check the checkbox to reinitialize its MAC address. Now that you have a basic Ubuntu VM ready to go, clone it (right click on it in the main VirtualBox interface > Clone). Once the installation is complete, power off the VM. You will then be asked if you want to run the installer answer yes, and enter the default password (by default ). Select Devices > Insert guest additions CD image in the menu of the window in which the VM runs.

It can also be a good idea to update your packages. Optionally, you can also change the default password using: $ passwd osboxes If like me you’re not familiar with it, start by changing it ( Settings > Text Entry). The default keyboard uses the QWERTY layout. Select Use an existing virtual hard disk file, click on the directory icon at the right of the dropdown list, and select the VDI file. Then, select how much RAM you want to give it. At this point, VirtualBox will ask you if you wish to create a new virtual hard disk or use an already exiting one. In VirtualBox, create a new machine ( New button), and call it Ubuntu analysis. We’ll start by setting up the base Ubuntu image, which we will then clone to have our two Ubuntu VMs. You’ll be provided with a VDI file representing the virtual disk of the machine. Start by extracting the archive you just downloaded. OsBoxes provides us with a ready-to-go virtual disk that we can simply plug on a VM and start using right away. Tip: if you already have an Ubuntu virtual machine you’re not using, you can simply clone it and reuse it in the next steps (right click > Clone).īefore starting, make sure you have enough disk space available (I’d recommend at least 10-20 GB).
