INTRODUCTION
BASE OPERATING SYSTEM
LINUX, MAC OSX, or WINDOWS
Your base operating system can be anything that VMWARE WORKSTATION
runs on or VMWARE FUSION for Intel Based - MAC OSX.
You can use any version of Linux you can install VMware Workstation 6.0 or
higher and it is functional.
VMWARE SERVER is not compatible with the course.
You can use any version of Windows, MAC OSX, or Linux as your core
operating system as long as VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion is
installed and functional. You have to create a Windows VMware guest
machine as a minimum. SANS will be handing out multiple VMware guest
machines that will be utilized for the course.

If your BASE OPERATING SYSTEM is Windows:

Step #1 WINDOWS VMWARE CONFIGURATION
Go to http://www.vmware.com and register to download the latest version of
VMware to run under Windows. You can obtain a free 30 day license if you already
do not own a copy of VMware. Download the latest VMware Workstation and
place it in your “My Documents” directory. Do not download VMware Server or any
BETA versions of VMware Workstation for this class they will be incompatible with the
course. Do not download any earlier versions of VMware as the VMware guest
machines we distribute for the course are only compatible with VMware Workstation
6.0 or higher. Use the following guide to help you perform the installation
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_install_winhost.html
You need to reset your HOST ONLY NETWORKING SUBNET. To accomplish this
follow these steps.
1. Click START-> ALL-PROGRAMS -> VMWARE -> Manage Virtual Networks
(Note: On Windows machines you might need to “right click” on the above icon
and “RUN-AS” administrator to adjust network settings)
2. Click on the third tab: “Host Virtual Network Mapping”
Page #3
3. Click on the VMnet1 Host Adapter Button Configuration
4. Press the “>” button and click on “SUBNET”
5. Change the Subnet IP Address to “192.168.2.0”
6. Click on the fifth tab: “DHCP”
Page #4
7. Click “REMOVE” in the DHCP Configuration.

8. Click “APPLY” and reboot your Windows Machine.
Step #2 VMWARE WINDOWS GUEST MACHINE Configuration
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, or Vista

In class, you will make use of a "virtual" Windows machine running within VMware.
Licensing restrictions prevent us from distributing copies of a Windows VMware
image. Therefore, you must create a Windows VMware machine before class begins.
You must use Windows 2000/2003/XP for creating the VMware machine that you will
use during class.
When you start VMWARE follow the following steps to set it up correctly.
1. Start VMWARE
2. Click FILE -> Click NEW -> Click “New Virtual Machine”
3. Choose Typical Settings (CLICK NEXT)
4. Guest OS should be “Windows 2000 Professional”, “Windows XP”,
“VISTA”, or “Windows 2003” (CLICK NEXT)
5. Virtual machine name should be “WINDOWS_VMWARE” (CLICK
NEXT)
6. Location should not be changed (CLICK NEXT)
7. Click “HOST-ONLY NETWORKING” (CLICK FINISH)
8. Disk Capacity: When allocating your VMware Disk Size a 2 GB to 4
GB is recommended. Anything larger is unnecessary. Do not
allocate all disk space now. Do not split disk into 2 GB files.
After you finish your new virtual machine is ready to be installed with the
Windows Operating System.
If you do not have a floppy drive attached to your laptop edit your configuration
settings. On the floppy drive tab, uncheck “connected” and “connect on power
on”. (See #2 Below)
When you first start your VMWARE machine, press F2 to take you into the
VMWARE BIOS Settings. Check to make sure that your first bootable device is
the CDROM so you can install your Windows VMWARE session.
1. Insert the Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Remove the Floppy Drive and Sound Devices from your VMWARE
Settings. (This will slow down your install if it doesn’t find them on
your system.)
3. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows
2000/XP/2003/Vista.
4. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine.
Page #5
• Install your Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista System with

the these settings:
9 Filesystem can be formatted as NTFS or FAT32

9 Hard Drive Size should be between 2-4 GB

6. Open up a command prompt (START -> RUN -> type cmd.exe)
7. Type \\192.168.2.10 and see if you are able to see the machine via
the network.
Please make sure that your VMware environment is stable, and that its host-only
networking is working properly, as there will be no time to install or troubleshoot the
Windows VMware machine during class. Remember to install VMware tools on your
system. VMware support site is located on the web
http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/ws_pubs.html.

Step #1 VMWARE FUSION 1.0 CONFIGURATION
You can use any version of Intel Based MAC OSX you can install VMware
Fusion 1.0 on and it is functional. No beta versions are supported. You
have to create a Windows VMware machine as a minimum. SANS will be
handing out multiple VMware Machines that will be utilized for the course.
Go to http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/ and register to download the latest

version of VMware Fusion to run under MACOSX. You can obtain a free 30 day
license if you already do not own a copy of VMware Fusion. Download the latest
VMware Fusion 1.0 or higher dmg. Do not download any BETA versions of VMware
Fusion for this class they will be incompatible with the course.
The following is from the site:

http://www.vmware.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/download/371-96095-
712040-1280/VMware%20Fusion%20Network%20Settings%20-%20Part%201.pdf
The above link discusses how to manually configure your network adapters which I
have added to this guide below. It is critical that you follow the instructions below
STEP BY STEP in order to get your version of VMware FUSION compatible with the
class.
One of the areas that have been simplified in the first release of VMware
Fusion is the configuration of the virtual network settings. Similar to the
Windows and Linux hosted variants for VMware products, there are 2
network interfaces setup during the installation of Fusion, plus a bridge from
Fusion to the computer’s active NIC. The 2 virtual network cards that are
configured are the host-only network, vmnet1, and the NAT network
interface, vmnet8. To learn more about these configurations I would suggest
that the documentation for VMware Workstation 6 networking is read, as
Fusion is derived from the same codebase. See the VMware Workstation 6
online manual and specifically the section on “Configuring a Virtual Network”,
and especially the parts relating to Linux.
What Fusion doesn’t easily let you do is manually configure the IP address
ranges used by vmnet1 and vmnet8, or add additional virtual networks; e.g.
vmnet2, etc. This first article demonstrates how to change the Fusion
network settings, allowing the IP address range to be specified for the default
connections. Before we start the process we need to understand a few of the
files used to configure Fusion. In the “/Library/Application Support/VMware
Page #12
Fusion/” directory are several files and sub-directories important to the

Fusion application.
Part 1 – Reset Fusion Settings

The first stage is to ensure we are at a known state with the various files
used by Fusion. Before you start, please ensure you have no running guests
and that you have closed the fusion application. The simplest way to do this
is to remove the “locations” file and re-run the Perl configuration script. Start
a terminal session and then switch to the main directory for Fusion. We will
then remove the file:
$cd /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/

$sudo rm locations
Next is to run the Perl configuration script, which will regenerate all the relevant files:
$sudo ./vmware-config-net.pl
Page #13
You won’t need to answer any questions as the vmware-config-net.pl script

auto answers them for you. Next we want to restart the services with these
new values just to check that everything is working:
$sudo ./boot.sh --restart
Part 2 – Modify the IP address ranges

We should now have a clean “locations” file to work from. Using an editor,
such as vi, open the file with write permissions via sudo or as root user, if
you have enabled the account. We need to change the following lines
answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_HOSTADDR 192.168.2.1

answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.2.0
Here vi is being run under sudo:
$sudo vi locations
You only need to worry about the two lines in red below.
answer LIBDIR /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion

answer NETWORKING yes
answer VNET_8_NAT yes
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
file /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf 1185970219
file /var/db/vmware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.leases
file /var/db/vmware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.leases~
file /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf 1185970219
answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.2.0
answer VNET_1_DHCP yes
file /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet1/dhcpd.conf 1185970239
file /var/db/vmware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet1.leases
file /var/db/vmware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet1.leases~
file /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/config 1185970239
Part 3 – Apply modified settings
Finally, we run through the same sequence of commands as in Step 1 to

apply the settings to Fusion. First, run the Perl configuration script, which will
show slightly different output this time.
$sudo ./vmware-config-net.pl
$sudo ./boot.sh --restart
$ifconfig -a
Page #14
< Removed other output for simplicity >

vmnet1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Is it legal to download the demos of VMWARE for this use? VMware
has a 30 day demo license that you can obtain specifically for this course.
2. Can I use an earlier version of VMware, such as 3, 4, or 4.5?

VMware does not grandfather previous versions of their tools virtual machine
in many cases. It is essential to require the specific version of VMware to
ensure compatibility with the course.
3. Can I use VMWARE SERVER? VMWARE SERVER does not work with the
course as it does not support reverting from snapshots.
4. I have VISTA and I cannot input my license key? When you install
Workstation on a Windows Vista host, be sure to enter the serial number at
installation time. This is necessary so that when you enter the serial number,
you will have the required permission settings. If you enter the serial number
later, as a different user, you might not have the correct permissions.
6. Can I use VMWARE FUSION for MACOS? VMWARE FUSION now

supports host-only networking. The product was just released supported by
the class. However, since it is new, it is bound to have bugs. Students who
bring VMWARE FUSION to class will potentially have more problems than
those with Linux or Window.
