Download

Head up to this link and download vagrant for your operating system
After installing you can access it via terminal
check if it’s downloaded properly vagrant -v

Setup

You can install whatever you want
Go to this link and choose your box

Also you can select the provider, so vagrant will run it in that provider
Here I’m going to select Virtual box, because I have installed that in my system

Let’s download this Box

vagrant box add ubuntu/focal64

Run this command on your terminal to install this box.
Wait few minutes for the download.
I’m using Windows as my base machine, Commands are pretty simlar, so don’t worry 🙂

Now run these two commands to setup that box

Before running this commands create two directories

mkidr box data

Now go to box directory

vagrant init ubuntu/focal64

And run this command

This command generates a Vagrantfile
Which you can use to configure the vm size,networks,synced folders and more…
data folder has shared files between your Vm and your base machine

You can put your custom binaries, setup.sh, required files to setup the vulnerable site and more in data folder

config.vm.synced_folder "../data", "/vagrant_data"

Uncomment the above line in Vagrantfile to share those files to your VM

Also I’m setting a public network to access my VM in local

 config.vm.network "public_network"

Uncomment this line to do that 🙂
Now time to start this VM

You can run vagrant up to start your VM
Now you can simply ssh into this machine using vagrant ssh command

Great that’s all, Now you can use this 😃

Here you can see, vargrant uses Virtualbox to host this.

You can also login into this VM with default credentials
user: vagrant:vagrant
root: root:vagrant

You can shutdown your VM using vagrant halt
If you want to force shutdown, then use vagrant destroy command

Let’s setup our vm with a build script in next article 🙂
