Booting into VirtualBox

Thanks for the post! I was able to get it working as well, but had to spend a bit of time getting the full-screen to work. It involved installing a bunch of the Guest Additions stuff.

The only problem I have is that many of the tools simply don't seem to work very well. W3AF throws a ton of python errors, some of the utilities aren't even present (when using the menu under the Samurai navigation, etc.

Does yours run well?

.iso of the newest version?

I'm a student in a security/pen testing class and we're looking at SamuraiWTF. I'm using VMWare Workstation Pro 12 and am not sure how to install SamuraiWTF 3.3.2 into a new VM because VMW asks for an ISO image filename and the SamuraiWTF download is a ZIP archive. Is there a tool to convert the ZIP into an ISO? Or do I insert the directory path to the decompressed set of files?
Thanks for any help!

Booting into VirtualBox

Hi all,
I wanted to publically document the steps I used for getting SamuraiWTF booting on my VirtualBox.

My setup
Host OS: Mac OS X (El Capitan)
VirtualBox: 5.0.24
SamuraiWTF: 3.3.2

Steps
Create new VM in VirtualBox (I picked "Other Linux (64-bit)", with 4GB RAM, and 60GB HDD, as a first guess)
Unpack the SamuraiWTF.zip
Unpack the SamuraiWTF.vmwarevm (It is just a collection of VMX, VMDK and some other files)
Edit the VirtualBox settings to use the VMDK
Storage -> Controller: SATA -> Highlight the current disk image
Click the disk icon to the right of the "Hard Disk: " dropdown
Select "Choose Virtual Hard Disk File..."
Navigate to the SamuraiWTF.vmwarevm directory and pick the Virtual Disk-cl1.vmdk file.
Close out from the settings and boot the VM!

I have not done any extensive testing on the functionality, but will be working on that soon enough. If you want to explore the VMware settings the VMX file is plain text and can be opened in your favorite editor.

Starting Webgoat

From what I've found online webgoat is already installed in Samurai. But if I head to //webgoat I just get the default apache2 page, //webgoat/attack is not found. Also 127.42.84.3 loads the default apache page, and 127.42.84.3/webgoat/attack loads nothing. Do I have to start it firt?
Thanks

Support with ESXi?

We're getting errors from VMware Workstation stating that the VM is not compatible with ESXi. It’s seemingly only supported in workstation. We could try to force it into ESXi with VMware converter but that could get hairy. Also for what its worth, we also tried it as a new VM on ESXi and attached the vmdk disks from the appliance. But that didn't work for us either, as there are differences in vmdks from workstation to ESXi. Thanks.

SamuraiWTF3.1 shows as 32-bit

I installed the SamuraiWTF3.1.vmwarevm on my ESXi (using VMwave vCenter Converter Standalone version 5.5).

When I run uname inside the guest, the OS shows as 32-bit. Is that as intended or a result of the conversion?

I just got this working on VMWare Fusion on my Mac and had to run through quite a bit of troubleshooting before everything ran smoothly. I had a lot of problems with slowness and freezing part way through installation(memory issues). A few tips/observations (these likely also apply to Windows VM hosts): - The install directly off the boot menu didn't work at all for me. I had to boot up the liveCD (iso) in the VM and then click on the installation icon on the Samurai desktop. Once fully installed this way there were no further issues. - I found the VMWare Fusion default memory allocation of 1GB was insufficient to run Samurai 2.0. I tried 2GB and it ran smoothly so I left it there. My guess is you could get away with less than 2GB but 1GB is not enough. Remember Samurai is running a number of target host services (e.g. WebGoat), so it won't be as slim as typical desktop Linux distro. - The default disk allocation of 20GB seemed to cause some trouble as well. I bumped this up to 30GB. - In the VM creation wizard, I tried 64bit Ubuntu first and that didn't work right. Switching to regular Ubuntu worked fine.
