In the realm of wireless network security testing, Wifislax stands out as a prominent tool. However, integrating Wifislax, a Linux-based system, with Windows requires finesse. This guide, presented in three parts, elucidates the process. Before delving in, it's crucial to note that a dedicated external WiFi adapter is a prerequisite, especially for laptop users.
Part 1: Creating a Virtual System with VirtualBox
-
VirtualBox Installation: Begin by installing VirtualBox, a widely-used virtualization tool available for free . The tutorial assumes VirtualBox usage; however, a VMWare tutorial is available as an alternative.
-
Obtaining Wifislax: Download the latest Wifislax ISO from its official . Ensure you have the necessary ISO file for the subsequent steps.
-
Setting up the Virtual Machine:
- Open VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine named, for instance, "Wifislax 4.8."
- Specify the type as "Linux" and version as "Other Linux (32 bit)."
- Allocate RAM (e.g., 2048 MB) and create a fixed-size virtual hard disk.
-
Attaching Wifislax ISO:
- In VirtualBox settings, navigate to "Storage."
- Choose the empty CD icon, click on the CD icon in "Attributes," and select "Choose a disk file."
- Locate the Wifislax ISO file and confirm.
-
Launching Wifislax:
- Start the virtual machine from the "Machine" menu, initiating Wifislax in a new window.
By following these steps, Wifislax can be executed within VirtualBox on a Windows system seamlessly, offering the advantage of simultaneous Windows usage.
