To start my future in penetration testing I looked into VirtualBox and downloaded Kali Linux. This was the first step into building my first Virtually Defined Network

I then worked to download an image of ubuntu and specifically download the tools I needed for certain types of pentesting jobs. I understand Kali is readily equipped with hundreds of tools for the craft but it also helps to have some personalization along with your OS.

I also was able to connect my Windows machine, Kali Linux, and a Metasploitable image all together using a Software Defined Network to test attacks in a live environment.
