Install BlackArch on Virtualbox Using OVA Image

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hi4z7EnW7I

We are going to be installing BlachArch on Virtualbox. • BlackArch is a very cool linux distro geared around penetration testing. It is based on Arch linux unlike the most popular penetration testing Kali linux which is based on Debian. • BlackArch is (depending on your opinion) has a slightly steeper learning curve than Kali, but it's great for those who prefer Arch linux and/or want a wider selection of pre-installed penetration testing tools. • (We'll be using this BlachArch in later videos to solve some of the OWASP juice shop challenges). • Perhaps we are already familiar with the process of installing a virtual machine via an ISO. An OVA image is even faster since it's essentially an image of an operating system that has already been installed. We'll use the OVA image in this tutorial. • 1. Head to BlackArch official site and grab the OVA image (torrents recommended). • 2. Run the OVA image through SHA1 hashing algorithm and compare to the checksum (SHA1sum). Although the image will still work without this step - if you plan on becoming a cyber security professional you should ABSOLUTELY NOT SKIP THIS STEP. • 3. In Virtualbox go to file / import appliance. Choose 'Local File System', then open the file browser to select our OVA image. • 4. Tweak appliance settings (if desired). The default settings will usually be fine however. • 5. Choose Machine Base Folder (where we want our virtual machine drive to be located). • 6. Choose Import, accept the joke software license agreement. Give it a few minutes, job done. • Brought to you by z3nsh3ll. • Like and subscribe only if you enjoyed the video. • Join the Discord • / discord
