Hi, could you please help? I’ve installed Windows 10 and Kali as virtual machines. I’m running Backbox as my main O/S. I have selected NAT in Virtual Box settings however when I enter the command “ifconfig” in terminal I can only see three interfaces –

enp0s25:
lo:
proton0:

None of which are my VMs. Can you please help?

Thank you

Hi!
Where are you running the ifconfig command? Is it in kali?

Can you show the results of:
ifconfig and route -n in kali
ipconfig in windows
Can you share a screenshot of the Network settings used in VirtualBox for both machines?

Thanks!
Diego

Hi Diego, thanks for replying!

I ran ifconfig from my main O/S – backbox. But I’ve done it from Kali VM too (screenshot below)

Thank you!

Hi!
It looks like you have selected NAT option instead of NAT Network, both options are present and it can be confusing. You need to attach the machines to the same NAT Network.

Hope it helps!

Hi Diego,

Thanks for that. It appears using zenmap in backbox doesn’t show the other machines but using netdiscover in kali VM does pick them up.

Thanks again!

Hi!
Cool you got it! What do you mean by backbox?

Let me know.

Hi!
Yeah, your main OS will not communicate with the virtual machines or viceversa, that’s normal. So they won’t appear in the results of netdiscover.

Greetings!
Diego
