Introduction

This homework is intended for you to provide verification of a functional virtual machine. You will be using this environment for the rest of the term. In theory, you have already completed nearly all of this. However, I want to make sure that you have a working environment before we get too far into the term.

All work will be submitted via MarkDown documents within a gitlab repo. You will be using this repo for the rest of the term. This repo exists on the CECS intranet.

Tasks

1. Create a private GitLab repo called netsec-Su25-<CECS> (replace <CECS> with your actual MCECS username) and clone it to your local machine. You will be using this repo for the rest of the term. This repo exists on the CECS intranet, and uses your CECS credentials for authentication.
2. Add dmcgrath (developer or higher) of your repo. This will allow me to view your repo and provide feedback.
3. Create a folder within the repo called hw1. This is where you will add documentation regarding this assignment.
4. Now that you have your repo set up, we’ll be turning to the workstation. I would suggest you document everything you did in a markdown file in your repo called hw1.md. And by suggest I mean require. I’m just being nice about it.
5. Use your VM is up and running, run the command ip a s and take a screenshot of the output. Add this to your repo and include it in your hw1.md file.
6. Follow the instructions on the Kali configuration page to configure the Kali workstation. Document this in your hw1.md file.
7. Include a screenshot of the workstation showing the successful output of the setup.sh script from the Kali configuration page. This should be after a reboot of the VM. Your shell should look something like this:

Submission

Once you have completed the above, you should have a markdown file in your repo called hw1/hw1.md that contains all the requested information. Commit and push this to your repo. Also commit and include the requested screenshots. Once you have done this, you can consider the assignment submitted.
