Lab: Virtual Machines Network Topologies

1 Goal

Build the network configurations from the virtualization slides twice:

1. In VirtualBox.
2. In QEMU/KVM with libvirt and virt-manager.

2 Rules

• Use the same logical topology in both hypervisors.
• Do not add extra adapters unless the exercise asks for them.
• Do not enable IP forwarding or routing inside Kali.
• If ICMP fails, check the guest firewall before changing the topology.
• You don’t need to boot up everything (just the devices required for the ping tests).
• Be aware that you can work more efficiently if you understand how virtual disks work.

3 Topology

4 Questions

• Which devices can do ping the machine #1?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #2?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #3?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #4?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #5?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #6?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #7?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #8?
• Which devices can do ping the machine #9?
• How would you expose an http server (that it’s allowed to be searchable on your home network / the internet) on machine #1?
• How would you expose an http server (that it’s allowed to be searchable on your home network / the internet) on machine #3?
• How would you expose an http server (that it’s allowed to be searchable on your home network / the internet) on machine #5?
• How would you expose an http server (that it’s allowed to be searchable on your home network / the internet) on machine #6?
• Which host (or hosts) would you use to analyze a virus file?
