34 - Flagship 1 Task
In chapter 21 - Training we installed Kybereo and Kali enviroments on Virtualbox. Our next task is to start these environments and make few changes in the settings so that the environment will work together. To prevent mishap, we will modify the settings so that the environment will be closed and not connected to the internet. For example, if you are carrying out penetration testing, you should use a closed environment (For example, we can shoot only in the shooting range, not everywhere).
| Virtual machine | IP adress | Netmask | Gateway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kybereo | 185.105.133.20 | 255.255.255.0 | 185.105.133.1 |
| Kali | 185.105.133.21 | 255.255.255.0 | 185.105.133.1 |
Setting up Kybereo
Kybereo is ready made image, so there is nothing to do. Only start the machine and everything will work automatically. Usernames and passwords can be found on page 23 - Flagship 1 Task.
- Start Kybereo virtual machine (mouse right button on virtual machine, select start and normal start)
Setting up Kali network setting
Because we are using public image, we need to configure Kali network settings.
- Click mouse right click on Kali virtual machine and select settings (Figure 01.)
- Go to Network settings and change Attached to Internal Network (Figure 02.)
- If you want to use public internet with Kali, you need to change here NAT or Bridged mode (in this part we are adding a fixed IP address, so if you want to use the internet, you need to delete these IP settings)
- Start Kali virtual machine (mouse right click on virtual machine, select start and normal start)
- Log in Kali username: kali and password: kali (top edge notes can be closed X button)
- Click start menu (left top corner) and search "Advanced Network Setting" (Figure 03.)
- Select "Wired Connection 1" and click edit button (bearing/cogwheel button bottom left)
- Change method to manual and add IP address, Netmaks and Gateway. Click save. Addresses can be found at the top of this page (Figure 04.)
- Check that Wired connection 1 is active by selecting it (Figure 05. Right top corner)
Without name server www address will not work, so we need to add manually www.kybereo.ch to Kali settings
- Start terminal emulator on start menu top left corner
- Write command: sudo nano /etc/hosts (it will ask root password, write password so we can edit this file)
- Add line 185.105.133.20 www.kybereo.ch and save CTRL+s. Exit on nano CTRL+x (Figure 06.)
Tip
By default Kali is using US keyboard layout. This can be changed on keyboard settings (Kali start menu - Keyboard and there the layout tab). Remember to remove the cross off the "Use system defaults". After that you can add any keyboard layout that you want to use. Remember also to determine which of the languages is preferred.

Testing connection
Remember that both virtual machines must be online when you are using the test environment.
- Start web browser on Kali and open address www.kybereo.ch
- Accept risk by clicking Advanced button and then Accept the Risk and Continue (Figure 01, and 02.)
- If everything went right, you should see Kybereo web page. Enviroment is ready to forensics (Figure 03.)
It's also recommended that you should make ping tests on both machines. This helps to find out if there is some network problems example.
- Start terminal (Kali or Kybereo) and try command ip a. This will show IP address what it is using
- Start terminal (Kali or Kybereo) and try command ping -c 2
This will make two ping request to selected IP address (try 185.105.133.20 and 185.105.133.21 and also www.kybereo.ch) (Figure 04.)
