2. Download the Create-EthicalHackingLabplanAndLab.ps1 PowerShell script onto your local machine:

   Invoke-WebRequest "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/LabServices/main/ClassTypes/PowerShell/EthicalHacking/Create-EthicalHackingLabplanAndLab.ps1" -OutFile Create-EthicalHackingLabplanAndLab.ps1

3. Run Create-EthicalHackingLabplanAndLab.ps1 script.

        Install-Module 'Az' -Force
        Login-AzAccount 
        ./Create-EthicalHackingLabplanAndLab.ps1 -UserName "AdminUser" -Password $(ConvertTo-SecureString "<password>" -AsPlainText -Force) -Location "centralus"

Part 2 - Prepare your template virtual machine

This script will help prepare your template virtual machine for a ethical hacking class. Script will:

• Enable Hyper-V.
• Install 7-Zip to extra Kali Linux Hyper-V disk.
• Create a Hyper-V virtual machine with a Kali Linux. Kali is a Linux distribution that includes tools for penetration testing and security auditing.
• Install Starwind V2V Converter to convert Metasploitable VMWare disk to Hyper-V disk.
• Create a Hyper-V virtual machine with a Metasploitable image is created. The Rapid7 Metasploitable image is an image purposely configured with security vulnerabilities. You'll use this image to test and find issues.

Prerequisites

• Lab with a template VM.
• Template VM for lab has a Windows Server OS.

Directions

1. Open the Azure Labs Services website and login with your Azure credentials to see the lab created by script in Part 1.

2. Connect to template machine for your lab.

3. Download the SetupForNestedVirtualization.ps1 and Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1 and PowerShell scripts onto the Template Virtual Machine:

   Invoke-WebRequest 'https://aka.ms/azlabs/scripts/hyperV-powershell' -Outfile SetupForNestedVirtualization.ps1
   Invoke-WebRequest ' https://aka.ms/azlabs/scripts/EthicalHacking-powershell' -Outfile Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1

4. Open a PowerShell window. Make sure that the window notes it is running under administrator privileges.

5. Run SetupForNestedVirtualization.ps1. This installs the necessary features to create HyperV virtual machines.

   .\SetupForNestedVirtualization.ps1

Note

The script may ask you to restart the machine and re-run it. A note that the script is completed will show in the PowerShell window when no further action is needed.

1. Run Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1

   If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11, the following command:

   .\Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1 -SwitchName 'Default Switch'

   If you are using Windows Server, the following command.

   .\Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1 

   Consider enabling Hyper-V DHCP guard and Router guard.

   Get-VMNetworkAdapter * | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -RouterGuard On -DhcpGuard On

Warning

Use Setup-EthicalHacking.ps1 -Force will cause any software to be installed silently. By using the Force switch you are automatically accepting the terms for the installed software.
