=========== CAUTION - DO NOT be bothered by manually installing DVWA (Hightly possibly, it will fail). =========== Installing VMs Tip: VMWare-Tools for Ubuntu/Kali VM on VMWare Fusion Installing VMWare-Tools $ sudo apt install open-vm-tools when shared folder doesn’t work even after the vmware-tools are installed $ sudo umount /mnt/hgfs $ sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other Install Kali (.iso) on VMWare Fusion on Apple silicon(M2) Download Kali .iso for Apple silicon: https://cdimage.

I tried to run REMnux VM with the following settings: Macbook pro (M2) Mac OSX Sonoma UTM 4.4.5 (brew installed; brew install --cask utm) Downloaded the REMNux VM (from https://remnux.org/#distro) References https://www.technomancer.com/archives/568 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krGvTMq29gA Convert the format of the REMNux disk image $ qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O vhdx REMnuxVM.vmdk REMnuxVM.vhdx * -p: indicates the conversion progress. * -f: indicates the source image format. * $ qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O qcow2 REMnuxVM.

Install Install a Ubuntu Server version(I installed the minimal Ubuntu 22.04 Server). Use the Shared Folder Ref: https://docs.getutm.app/guest-support/linux/#virtfs on the UTM Menu, “Edit” the configuration of the Ubuntu VM and set up a shared directory with the “VirtFS” (not SPECI WebDAV) create a local directory on the guest $ sudo mkdir /media/share mount $ sudo mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio share /media/share -oversion=9p2000.L

Ref: https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-vmware-guest-tools/ Install VMWare-Tools (not only on Kali, but on Ubuntu also) $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install -y --reinstall open-vm-tools-desktop fuse $ sudo reboot -f Use Shared Folders Run Kali-tweaks kali@kali:~$ kali-tweaks Select Virtualization Mount the shared folder $ sudo mount-shared-folders If it doesn’t work restart the Tools $ sudo restart-vm-tools
