This example demonstrates how to share a folder between a Windows host and a Linux guest in VirtualBox. The Gist provides two shell commands: first, a note to create the shared folder via the GUI, then a series of Bash commands run inside the guest OS. These commands add the current user to the `vboxsf` group, create a mount point at `~/share`, and mount the shared folder using the `mount -t vboxsf` command with the `uid` and `gid` options set to the current user’s IDs. The code relies on the VirtualBox Guest Additions and standard Linux utilities, with no external libraries.

Creating a copy of you harddrives for a virtual machine copy

This example shows a shell script that clones a physical computer’s hard drives into a new VirtualBox virtual machine, attaching each raw disk (via `VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk`) as a SATA storage device. It iterates through `/dev/sd?` block devices, creates a `.vmdk` for each, and attaches them to the VM, then adds any ISO images from a specified folder as DVD drives. The script also configures memory, CPUs, and boot order, and finally prints the VM configuration and a command to launch it headless, relying solely on VirtualBox’s command-line API.

Gist 759f990ca4ab64414550b681a9f66f0e

This example demonstrates how to automate the setup of a Linux virtual machine for a scavenger-hunt challenge using PowerShell and Vagrant. It shows the complete provisioning workflow, starting with adding a Hyper-V provider box, creating a destination directory, downloading a Vagrantfile from a GitHub gist via `Invoke-WebRequest`, and finally running `vagrant up` to launch the machine. The code relies on Vagrant’s Hyper-V provider, the `vagrant box add` command, and PowerShell’s file and web-request cmdlets. The data source is the remote Vagrantfile hosted on GitHub, fetched over HTTP.

Create a Logical Volume in Proxmox for shared data between LXCs

This example demonstrates how to create a dedicated logical volume for shared data across LXC containers in Proxmox. It shows the shell commands and system utilities required, including `lvcreate` to allocate a thin-provisioned volume named `shared-data` from the `pve/data` pool, `mkfs.ext4` to format it, and `mount` to attach it. The script writes an entry to `/etc/fstab` for persistence and reloads systemd. The visualization is plain-text code, not graphical, relying on command-line tools and file-editing rather than a data-rendering library.

Gist 6378827722c371d2f33b9a9516ab1017

This example shows a PowerShell automation script for provisioning a cybersecurity lab environment. It uses the Vagrant command-line interface to add a Hyper-V provider machine image and start a virtual machine from a copied Vagrantfile. The script relies on PowerShell cmdlets like `mkdir` and `cp` alongside Vagrant’s `box add` and `up` commands to set up the Linux scavenger environment from a preconfigured gist.

Gist f1a4ad0d5f921fdb64ba7efec08a744a

This example demonstrates a Vagrant configuration for provisioning a Linux-based cybersecurity scavenger hunt environment. It defines a single virtual machine using the `cybersecurity/linux-scavenger` box, assigning it a private network IP and synced folder via SMB. The Vagrantfile uses the Hyper-V provider to allocate 2 GB of memory and one CPU, while explicitly disabling SSH key insertion for the guest. The setup relies on environment variables for SMB credentials, creating a reproducible lab environment for security exercises.

Modified start.sh for Docker Toolbox.

This example shows a Bash script that automates the setup of a Docker Toolbox virtual machine, specifically creating and starting the default VM and regenerating its certificates when needed. It demonstrates shell scripting for environment configuration, using commands like `docker-machine create`, `docker-machine start`, and `docker-machine env`, alongside VirtualBox’s `VBoxManage` to check VM existence. The script also defines a `docker` function that wraps `docker.exe` with `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` to handle path conversion on Windows, and it prints a status message with the VM’s IP address. The code relies on standard Bash utilities and conditional logic, not on any external visualization library.

Gist 479929a3d2e3a21ebdca56c228f18ddd

This example shows a shell script that automates the setup of a Linux-based scavenger hunt environment for students. It creates a local directory, downloads a Vagrantfile from a TinyURL link, and runs `vagrant up` to launch a virtual machine. The script then extracts the SSH host and port from `vagrant ssh-config` and prints connection instructions. The code relies on the Vagrant CLI, `curl`, and standard Unix utilities like `grep`, `awk`, and `sed`.

This example shows a shell script that automates the setup of a Linux scavenger hunt lab environment by downloading a deploy key, cloning a GitLab repository, and running Vagrant to provision the machine. The script uses `curl` to fetch an SSH key, `git clone` with submodules to pull the lab definitions, and `vagrant up` to launch the virtual machine. It then extracts the SSH hostname and port from `vagrant ssh-config` using `grep` and `awk`, printing connection instructions for the student user.
