I’ve seen several folks wondering how to setup the De-Ice pentest environments in a virtual machine.  It’s actually a fairly simple setup and I’ve included the steps needed below….

Here’s the config I used to get level 1(1.100) working:

  1. Configure the De-Ice VM Guest for Host Only networking
  2. Modify routing on host VM: “ifconfig 192.168.1.X vboxnet0” — X can be anything that’s not in use; vboxnet0 would be the name of the virtual interface – in this case I’m using Virtual Box.
  3. Modify host routing table: route -add host 192.168.1.100 vboxnet0 — – this is biggest problem for people; make sure your host is using the correct interface to find De-Ice

Here’s the config I used to get level 2 (2.100) working:

  1. Configure the De-Ice VM Guest for Host Only networking
  2. Modify routing on host VM: ifconfig 192.168.2.X vboxnet0
  3. Modify host routing table: route -add host 192.168.2.100 vboxnet0
