I just started using Kali Linux and I decided to run it on VM ware rather than installing as an OS, the weird thing about it that its asking me to login using my username and password. On first installation it did not even ask to create such account, can somebody plz help me deal with this issue?
Here's default username and password for Kali Linux i386, amd64, VMWare and ARM images
(older versions)
username: root
password: toor
(latest version, since the release of 2020.1)
username: kali
password: kali
Tell me if one of them works. Cheers!

May be you have installed it in virtual machine so
May be not installed correctly try to reinstall but I suggest to install it as os not vm ware.
Try to use username and password you gave on VMware.
3)Try to use your root name as username and same as password.
May be this will work try it and let me know!
😊

I donwloaded the virtualbox image from this website:
https://www.osboxes.org/centos/#centos-782003-info
I uses CentOS 7.8.2003
I am able to start the VirtualBox but I cannot ssh into it. Then, I realized that I also cannot ping to the IP address. I already configure the network to Bridge.
Do I need to configure something on CentOS Virtual Box for me to be able to ssh into it from the Host machine? Thank you very much in advance.
You should probably post this on Superuser or Serverfault.
Anyway, I see you have 192.168.0.30 on your host machine, try configuring 192.168.0.31 on interface enp0s3 on your VM and restart the network.
You should be able to ping now.

I am trying to learn how to use SSH and it's kinda hard for me. I installed PuTTY (windows 7 32-bit). It asked for my IP so I searched 'What is my ip' and pasted it in. Then in the 'command prompt style box' I entered my username 'dell'. Now it's asking for password. I'm really confused because my laptop has no password and there's no password I know of. Can you guys help?
Entering nothing doesn't work:
Putty is just a command line interface, that will allow you to run commands like ssh.
However, if you want to SSH into your machine you have to install an SSH server on your machine.
There are multiple solution on the web:
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/41560/how-to-get-ssh-command-line-access-to-windows-7-using-cygwin/
122.162.179.255 is likely the IP address of your network router / ADSL modem / etc and not your Windows PC (which won't have an SSH server installed by default).
There really is very little to learn about SSH itself, at least for basic day to day use.
If you want to learn how to use a UNIX-style command prompt then consider installing WSL or setting up a Linux installation on a separate computer (maybe a Raspberry Pi).

I need to shut down "Guest OS" of machines in powershell.
I dont have VMware Tools installed on the guest to use Shutdown-VMGuest.
My question is can this be done without installing VMWare tools on the guest. Is this even a possible ?
If NOT: Are there any other commands (like soft power operation, but i dont really understand this) OR any other ways to do this ?
If NOT: Is there any equivalent of "Shutdown guest OS" that can be done in powershell ?
It does look like i am posting 3 questions, but i want to just be able to shutdown guest os of vms bypassing installing VMWare tools using powershell.
PS: I am new to this, please be kind if this seems like a stupid question :)
The shutdown guest OS is a vmware tools option, and the benefit is that it is OS independent, as long as the vmware tools are installed it works.
PowerShell has the stop-computer command: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/stop-computer?view=powershell-7
You could use the -computername option for a remote machine.
-ComputerName
Specifies the computers to stop. The default is the local computer.
Type the NETBIOS name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of one or more computers in a comma-separated list. To specify the local computer, type the computer name or localhost.
This parameter doesn't rely on PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter even if your computer isn't configured to run remote commands.
PS. I'm assuming a WIndows Based OS here, correct?
VMware player may have the option for shutdown/restart guest OS even no VMTools is installed in the guest? (to be confirmed though)

I've an old VMware virtual machine (.VMDK).
It has been installed as Windows XP. It runs but I forgot the Windows password to login.
Is it possible to use the VM as a virtual drive and just READ OUT THE FILES stored into it as it was a normal HD?
I don't need to execute the VM, only to recover some data.
You can mount a vmdk file in Windows or Linux, read HERE. Becuase it is password protected C drive I would mount it in Linux and just copy what I needed since Linux will read the filesystem without the need for a password where windows is likely not going to allow you to read without the password.

I have 40 computers in my lab and I have locked each computer with MAC address so people won't be able to unplug the network cable and connect it to their laptops.
I was wondering, if a laptop is connected via one of those cables, can he do some actions and discover the locked MAC.
I know I can find the locked MAC by running ipconfig /all on the computer in the lab. but if it's locked by a password I can't.
I am searching for the commands that I can run on the laptop (while pluged via the network cable) that will give me the MAC address of the computer's lab (The locked address).
(BTW, I'm running windows 7)
Thank you very much!
Amihay
If the laptop is running Linux:
sudo tshark -n arp
should net a few valid MAC addresses.
Not sure if it'll help because its windows,
