Hello Everyone, Beginer

[MrExplorer]

I wouldn't say I am a complete beginner & ask where to start from. I have been working on a security forum from last many years & i have been able to learn a lot from there, Now i joined this forum to learn some new stuff.

I am able to understand many concepts of Hacking but when i try to apply them up, i do got one or two problem, so i guess the Community will surely help me out.

Sorry this post include some Intro part, but i was unable to find the Introduction Section.

Now just trying out learn some stuff in kali linux.


One of my Problem: I was trying to setup a lab for pentesting using VMWare.
Installed Kali Linux of VMWare & Windows 7 & i am not able to setup connection between those Operating System.

They should be on the same network by default fool. Start by running ifconfig on kali and then ping that ip from the windows machine.

[MrExplorer]

   Don't Call me fool, I mean there are 4 Network setting in VMWare which would connect them internally, & i tried pinging the ip of Windows from Kali, It wasn't up but i was running Windows 7 side by side.

[shimomura]

Set the adapter settings to bridged fool.

What network settings did you give the VM Ware image ? NAT, Bridged, etc ?


Let us know what the settings are on currently.


ifconfig the linux box, and try pinging that ip from the other machine.

They should be on the same network by default fool. Start by running ifconfig on kali and then ping that ip from the windows machine.

Deactivate Windows firewall first since it filters ICMP messages. Don't activate at back at once, just play with Kali, check out what you can do with the firewall off and then compare with the firewall on.


Bridged is the one you need young padawan.
