Which footprint can identify in Virtualization? - virtual-machine

Think this example:
You are using Windows as a host machine and you are using ( virtualbox ) Linux for virtual machine. When you connect to the internet from virtual machine, someone try to track you. Now, can tracker find your host machine's footprint or just virtual machine's footprint? So, from the connection of virtual machine, the host machine can identifiable?
I try to search that but i can't find any result. Maybe i don't know the right words.

No, the host machine won't be identifiable

Windows Server 2019 - VMs on Hyper-V cant get network

I have some trouble with my windows server 2019 running Hyper-V, for the background my windows server run on an ESXI infra.
It is impossible for me to get any internet access nor domain access on my Hyper-V virtual machine, this is how my host configuration look like
Host network
For me all look good, but when I turn on my virtual machine this is what I get
VMs network
VMs ping
I can see the machine getting a IP from my DHCP server, but it is impossible for me to ping any of the gateway, DNS.
My DHCP
This is how my virtual switch look like
vSwitch Hyper-V
And if needed my Ipconfig of my Windows server Hyper-V host
Hyper-V host network
I think that i have now tried everything I could, I don't see why my machine can get a DHCP IP, but can't communicate with any of my server.
I already have a topic posted on SpiceWorks (https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2326264-hyper-v-wont-provide-internet-access-on-my-virtual-machine?page=1#entry-9231547), the last answer suggested that the problem came from my vSwitch on Hyper-V, but even after recreating a new one I can't get anything.
If you have any idea that can help me to achieve my configuration even the slightest one I'll gladly take it.
First thing I would like to ask, you are doing a Double Nested Virtualization, meaning: [ESXi] is the BareMetal Hypervisor, then inside of this Host you have at least 2 VMs, one name "SRVPARDC001" & the Hyper-V VM named "TESTHYPERV" , and inside this last one you have another VM called "VDI-Master" , if this is correct, you are asking:
*Why is VDI-Master, not getting internet, when SRVPARDC001 has leased an IP address ( 192.168.1.118) ?
My question is, why does the ipconfig output for VDI-Master show IP 192.168.1.121 , which per your DHCP, should be leased to the Desktop
Would it be possible to use a different subnet for the Virtual Switch inside the Hyper-V , to eliminate routing/dhcp issues?
My impression is that there is an issue on how the virtual switch is configured on the TESTHYPERV vm, since that virtual switch should be allowing the traffic upstream to the ESXi host and then out via your gateway/router/firewall device.

Hyper-v Open Virtual Machine

After rebooting is it possible to open a Hyper-V virtual machine without going through the Manager? It seems like it is already running in the background or maybe it is just in its last state.
If the OS in the Hyper-V virtual allows for remoting and also it is on the same network as the attempt to open a remote desktop to that virtual.
Note that the default network adapter for a virtual will provide a different IP address than what the local network provides to the server. You will most likely want to create a network adapter (in Hyper-V) which shares the network card to the virtual and the virtual will get its IP address from the local network.
If you can ping it, then it can be remoted to..but other things within the virtual has to allow for remoting.
Upon reading the OPs comments, it is clear that the need is to launch the virtual outside of Hyper-V. Hyper-V uses VMConnect.exe to achieve that...and that is available.
One can do that in an elevated Powershell shell such as:
vmconnect {Local/remote computer name} {Virtual Name}
such as
vmconnect Hyperion W10-Zephyr
where Hyperion is the local computer name and W10-Zephyr is the virtual's name.

How could I access my VM in my host machine (By different IP)?

I want to access the virtual machine IP in the host (by ping or curl or something), but it is not ok. How could I make it?
The host machine is a win10 PC.
A virtual machine using VMware workstation 15, Ubuntu 16.04 server. It has IP address 192.168.178.138 and 10.0.0.11. I can access the 192.168.178.138, but cannot access 10.0.0.11. (no matter ping or curl...)
All are NAT mode in VMware Workstation.
Now I have a web application running on 10.0.0.11:80. How could I access it in my host machine.
Btw I have another VM with 192.168.178.39 and 10.0.0.31, and this VM can access the 10.0.0.11:80 by curl.
I can show the topo as below.
(A little Chinese but it won't affect reading, just ignore it)
Yes, now I solve this question by myself.
It seems that you cannot use the Host-only mode (Actually I can only use this mode...).
You need to set the virtual interface in your host PC (The IP, gateway, or anything else...);
Then you need to set in the VMWare workstation, set it to use speical lan (VM net 2 for me);
Then you can access it from the host machine and other vm, maybe you need to search something like NAT translation in VMWare workstation to access your web application deployed in the VM from outer network.
That's what I do, now I can access my horizon dashboard in the browser (The Ubuntu server don't have any browser... T-T sad ...)

VMware Workstation. Virtual Machine copy/clone protection

I will have to deploy a Virtual Machine on laptop. The user will can use this virtual machine with only one restriction, He can not copy/clone/move... this virtual machine to another computer.
If I encrypt the virtual machine the user will need the password to start the virtual machine... And He will can copy/move/clone... it.
I think that in the past VMware ACE did this operation but now I do not know how I can do it.
Do you know How Can I protect a VMware Virtual Machine to avoid the copy of this VM to another computer?
Thanks.
Try using NTFS encrytion on Virtual Machine folder.

After this, restrict user to write VMDK, OFV and other VMware files only in Virtual Machine folder

How do you enable the network on a virtual machine running Vista x64?

I'm running Server 2008 64bit with Hyper-V. I've created a virtual machine with Vista 64bit and installed it. I can't get the Vista virtual machine to see the network adapter.
I've set-up an external network on the Virtual Network Manager (Hyper-V) and associated that with the virtual machine (Vista). I've also tried using a Legacy Network Adapter but that didn't work either although that time the Vista machine saw the network card but couldn't connect through it.
This is (obviously) the first time I've tried to set-up a virtual machine.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I notice that this question has been voted down a couple of times. I know that it's not a programming question but I'm a developer setting up a virtual machine to test my C#/ASP.NET code on and thought that other developers may hit this problem as well when they're doing this...
I don't know Hyper-V, but I know in VMWare you can create a network connection in Bridged mode (meaning the VM will get it's own IP address via DHCP if that's enabled) or host-only mode (meaning the VM can only communicate with the host). When Vista could see the card, could it communicate with the host machine (which would indicate a host-only connection was specified)? What kind of IP address did it have (I would guess Hyper-V has a built-in DHCP server like VMWare does?) -- that might give additional clues.
Sorry I don't know Hyper-V better...
Make sure you have the Hyper-V Tools installed on the Guest VM. You shouldn't need the legacy adapter.
You also may want to make sure you have all of the latest updates which may have addressed your issue. Particularly, KB950050
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950050
It turns out that Vista x64 running as a VM through Hyper-V doesn't support the virtual network connection/card and that you have to set it up as a legacy network card. When I eventually got the config settings correct for the legacy network and disable the virtual network it connected.
Thanks for the help guys - much appreciated!
