you need to learn Virtual Machines RIGHT NOW!! (Kali Linux VM, Ubuntu, Windows)
About this video
He explains a virtual machine as a computer inside a computer, where a hypervisor borrows CPU, RAM, storage and other host resources to create a guest system that believes it is real hardware. He contrasts a Type 2 hypervisor such as VirtualBox, installed on an existing host OS, with a Type 1 hypervisor such as VMware ESXi, installed directly on hardware. He then demonstrates downloading Kali Linux and Ubuntu ISO files, installing VirtualBox and its Extension Pack, enabling hardware virtualization in BIOS, allocating RAM, CPUs and a dynamically allocated virtual disk, and installing Kali. He also demonstrates pausing, saving state, cloning, snapshots, shared clipboard, and NAT versus bridged networking, arguing that isolation makes VMs the safest place to learn hacking, learn other operating systems, and break things without harming the host.
Key takeaways
- A hypervisor carves host CPU, RAM and storage into virtual hardware for a guest OS
- Type 2 hypervisors run on a host OS; Type 1 hypervisors run directly on hardware
- He enables Intel VMX or AMD-V in BIOS before installing a 64-bit guest in VirtualBox
- Snapshots, clones and saved state let you restore a VM after breaking it
- NAT keeps a VM off the home network by default; bridged mode puts it on that network
