Hi ChrisG

Thanks for ur help.

hi Blackzarro

Atlast you would be surprised to hear this, iam posting this reply from Suse linux broswer (konqueror)

I was not sure how it was configured to access net, i suspect i installed dhcp configuration from suse dvd and from there it started working. I hope it didnt had proper dhcp modules to extract or not sure iam bluffing something dumb....

Now to the problem side,

I couldnt open 192.168.0.1 router configuration admin page.....! not sure whats happening.

Anyway as u requested iam posting the ifconfig -a command execution:

Hi blackazarro

thanks for your reply, i think i would prefer to install it in virtual pc and go on with that, and with virtual workstation or virtual server i think i will be able to achieve that. Will be installing this today and will try it. Will keep updating you about it soon....

Hi

Oops, i should have provided these information before i write the query, anyway,

1. My Host is Windows XP Home edition,
2. I want to run Knoppix 5.1.0 version.
I downloaded Knoppix 5.1.0 virtual machine thru link provided by vmware website, it had set of files .nvram, .vmdk, .vmx and one livecd.iso(this is just a dummy iso file and needed to download orinial .iso file from knoppix.net which i downloaded and renamed as livecd.iso)
Everything was placed in directory as given in negrita on vmware setting up article)
3. iam booting guest OS thru vmplayer where it asks to open .vmx file and from there it checks for livecd.iso image file and boots it, there is no vmserver or i didnt create thru vmx builder.)
4. No i didnt create using vmx builder.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Vp75, it appears that you're a bit confuse and that's ok. I was also confuse when I started to learn about VMware and virtual machines. I encourage you to reread Negrita's article carefully. What ever linux distro you download, you have to use a virtualization software in order to convert it to a virtual machines. Then use the VMware Player to boot-up the linux OS or whatever OS you interested in.

As for the knoppix distro, download the iso image and burned this to a cd. In your burning cd software, make sure to choose the option for burning iso image to a cd. Then use VMware Server or VMX Builder as I mentioned before, to create the virtual machine. This step here is similar to installing a OS on your system but you are doing it virtually. I haven't used knoppix for while but I think this distro does have an option to install it on a hard drive.

After successfully installing knoppix virtually you can add scripts, download applications and configure settings in your virtual machine and this will be saved.

Suse and Knoppix are two different linux distribution, for complete info refer to the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoppix

Vp75, if you still having problems in creating and playing virtual machines, I recommend that you check EH-NET forums for any information that will help you on the subject or create a new forum topic so we can address your problems there. I would like to keep this forum topic CEH related   ,thanks.

Hi blackazarro ,

Thanks for your reply, as it is about setting up virtual lab iam taking this as a new topic , hope iam in right place now.

blackazarro , i installed knoppix 5.1.0 and downloaded 5.1.0 iso live cd and renamed as per negrita post and able to open knoppix in vmplayer. Iam able to ping both side and i have got the ethernet selection as NAT, Anyway dynamic ipaddress is assigned to virtual pc and am able to ping both the host & guest, but not able to use internet or connect to internet in virtual pc, iam  not sure of what setting needs to be done in knoppix.

Also iam not able to save any desktop configuration in virtual pc, does it needs to be with any write permission, bcoz when i tried setting read/write permission i had message saying it should be mounted....! how does virtual pc have space to store scripts...?

Does any one have idea....or clue about it,

Cheers

Hi Kev, Negrita,

Thanks a lot guys, i was wondering which one to use out of two option Knoppix & Suse linux, iam not going for knoppix version as i have ECcouncil manual with me which would help a lot i going a head.

Cheers
Vp

Hi blackazarro

Thanks for your reply and explanation.
I got installed VMPlayer ver 2 and tried knoppix and got error as it didnt come with .iso image file, now downloading it, hope would take another 1hr approx to download 697MB.
Regarding virtual appliance i saw one of the link got Hacking and networking security usage & training tool, but OS it says is Suse linux, does it mean it cant be used in Knoppix environment....? (sorry for this dumb question)

Again the scripts whatever we write in linux can it be saved into virtual machine & compile and run it...?

Being on learning rope i hope you guys understand what i am pointing at...

your help is appreciated.

Cheers
Vp

Hi blackazarro

Thanks for your reply, I have started installing VMplayer and knoppix520 (5.2.0) version , it says that vmplayer doesnt support and need advanced player ...a bit literally confused and now trying to download vmplayer 2.0 and reinstall it, in the meantime
could you provide me with which version of linux flavours used in vmplayer....it could be helpful in setting up for me,

cheers
Vp

Hi Blackasarro,

Firstly congrats on your passing CEH,

Could you give details or setup on what type of virtual lab you set for your practice and workouts....

Iam also in the same learning rope of setting up virtual lab, it would be useful if you could let me know like what you used like Microsoft virtual product or vmware product and number of windows & linux on virtual lab...!

Cheers
Vp

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your reply, I got your point and you answered what i queried exactly,
Iam planning to setup lab myself at home and work for sometime and takeup bootcamp so i can question my clarifications which i worked out in home lab.

Cheers
Vp

Hi Chris

Thanks for your detail reply. I dont have background on security but have knowledge about TCP/IP and knowledge about user administration.

I will narrow my question, CEH basic pre-requiste for training is basic knowledge of TCP/IP (i hope iam correct if not correct me), with that they can take up training. So with my 10yrs Exp in IT cant i take up the course and is it do i need to go thru Security+ and then to CEH?

Though after obtaining CEH, i need to have more homework and prepare myself only then would be able to try for penetration testing jobs, still there are more certifications and more homework needed for this which iam aware of it.

Moreover TTC guy confused saying after taking Security+ certification and after gaining 2+yrs experience i can take up CEH.....Is it so....

Cheers
Vp

Hi

Iam from UK and am also looking to take up CEH training, As Don said, Trainingcamp looks to be good bootcamp training for CEH, regarding CISSP one of my colleague did in Trainingcamp and gave me a good feedback.

Have sent a message to you, would be glad to share ideas with you if u need.

Cheers
