If you noticed in your Kali Linux, if you check your local IP Address with ifconfig in terminal.
You will get a Private Address in range 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.
This is because your connected to your local computer’s network.
This can be a problem because some tools can output weird results because of this such as when I use Nmap to find the OS of a server it prints out Virtual Box which is ambiguous to document a server’s OS as a Virtual Box.
In order to connect to your Router’s network and get an IP address between 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
First go to the network settings of your Kali Linux Virtual Machine in Virtual Box.
Change Attached to -> Bridge Adapter
Click OK and start Kali Linux again.
When you start Kali again and type ifconfig in your terminal, you will get a Private IP Address range between 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
Back then when I used nmap, i got an issue of having the OS guess as Virtual Box but now I get an answer that is more motivating.
Thank you 🙂
