7MS #381: DIY $500 Pentesting Lab Deployment Tips

For Windows VMs

Take a snapshot right after the OS is installed, as (I believe) the countdown timer for Windows evaluation mode starts upon first "real" boot.
Want to quickly run Windows updates on a fresh Win VM? Try this (here's the source):

powershell Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force powershell Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -force powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass powershell Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate powershell Get-WindowsUpdate powershell Install-WindowsUpdates -AcceptAll -AutoReboot

To turn on remote desktop:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0

To set the firewall to allow RDP:

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop"

To stop the freakin' Windows hosts from going to sleep:

powercfg.exe -change -standby-timeout-ac 0

To automate the install of VMWare tools, grab the package from VMWare's site, decompress it, then:

setup64.exe /s /v "/qn reboot=r"

To set the time zone via command line, run tzutil /l and then you can set your desired zone with something like tzutil /s "Central Standard Time"

For Linux VMs

Get SSH keys regenerated and install/run openssh server:

apt install openssh-server -y mkdir /etc/ssh/default_keys mv /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /etc/ssh/default_keys/ dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server systemctl enable ssh.service systemctl start ssh.service

Then grab some essential pentesting tools using Kali essentials, and keep 'em updated git update

Next user group meeting September 30!
