Using VMware Workstation Using VMware Workstation describes how to use VMware® Workstation and create, configure, and manage virtual machines. Intended Audience This information is intended for anyone who wants to use Workstation and create and manage virtual machines. Where to Find Additional Information See the following documents for more information about using Workstation. All of the documents are available from the VMware Web site. n Getting Started with VMware Workstation describes how to install and upgrade Workstation, create a typical virtual machine, and perform common virtual machine operations. n Installing and Configuring VMware Tools contains complete information on using VMware Tools. n The VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide contains information about installing specific guest operating systems. n The online VMware Compatibility Guide lists the supported host and guest operating systems for Workstation. The Workstation online help provides quick reference information about Workstation settings and common tasks. It is available from the Workstation Help menu and when you click Help on a Workstation dialog box. VMware, Inc. 5 Using VMware Workstation 6 VMware, Inc. Creating Virtual Machines 1 You can create a new virtual machine in Workstation by using the New Virtual Machine wizard, clone an existing Workstation virtual machine or virtual machine template, import third-party and Open Virtualization Format (OVF) virtual machines, and create a virtual machine from a physical machine. You can also create shared virtual machines, which can be used by remote users, and virtual machines that run on remote hosts. See Chapter 6, “Using Remote Connections and Sharing Virtual Machines,” on page 179. This chapter includes the following topics: n “Understanding Virtual Machines,” on page 7 n “Preparing to Create a New Virtual Machine,” on page 8 n “Create a New Virtual Machine on the Local Host,” on page 18 n “Cloning Virtual Machines,” on page 22 n “Virtualize a Physical Machine,” on page 25 n “Importing Virtual Machines,” on page 27 n “Installing and Upgrading VMware Tools,” on page 29 n “Virtual Machine Files,” on page 40 Understanding Virtual Machines A virtual machine is a software computer that, like a physical machine, runs an operating system and applications. A virtual machine uses the physical resources of the physical machine on which it runs, which is called the host system. Virtual machines have virtual devices that provide the same functionality as physical hardware, but with the additional benefits of portability, manageability, and security. A virtual machine has an operating system and virtual resources that you manage in much the same way that you manage a physical computer. For example, you install an operating system in a virtual machine in the same way that you install an operating system on a physical computer. You must have a CD-ROM, DVD, or ISO image that contains the installation files from an operating system vendor. VMware, Inc. 7 Using VMware Workstation Preparing to Create a New Virtual Machine You use the New Virtual Machine wizard to create a new virtual machine in Workstation. The wizard prompts you to make decisions about many aspects of the virtual machine. You should make these decisions before you start the New Virtual Machine wizard. Selecting a Virtual Machine Configuration When you start the New Virtual Machine wizard, the wizard prompts you to select a typical or custom configuration. Typical Configuration If you select a typical configuration, you must specify or accept defaults for a few basic virtual machine settings. n How you want to install the guest operating system. n A name for the virtual machine and a location for the virtual machine files. n The size of the virtual disk and whether to split the disk into multiple virtual disk files. n Whether to customize specific hardware settings, including memory allocation, number of virtual processors, and network connection type. Custom Configuration You must select a custom configuration if you need to perform any of the following hardware customizations. n Create a virtual machine that has a different Workstation version than the default hardware compatibility setting. n Select the I/O controller type for the SCSI controller. n Select the virtual disk device type. n Configure a physical disk or an existing virtual disk instead of create a new virtual disk. n Allocate all virtual disk space rather than let disk space gradually grow to the maximum disk size. Selecting the Virtual Machine Hardware Compatibility Setting All virtual machines have a hardware version. The hardware version indicates which virtual hardware features that the virtual machine supports, such as BIOS or EFI, number of virtual slots, maximum number of CPUs, maximum memory configuration, and other hardware characteristics. The virtual machine hardware compatibility setting determines the hardware features of the virtual machine. If you select a typical configuration, the wizard uses the default hardware compatibility setting configured in the Workstation preferences. By default, the default hardware compatibility setting is the installed Workstation version. If you select

  • Download Older Version of Vmware Workstation Vmware Workstation 8.0
    download older version of vmware workstation VMware Workstation 8.0. Running the application you need on your computer isn't always as easy as you might think. Yes, a native app may exist for your OS of choice, but if it doesn't or if you need to keep your OS free of clutter, things get complicated. Getting access to the cloud can also be challenging. This is one reason why I like VMWare Workstation. It’s a virtual workstation manager for Windows. VMware Workstation is cloud capable and cloud aware. VMware Workstation's operating system support, user experience, feature set and performance will dramatically change the way you work with virtual machines. It's one of the best companion apps for any technical professional as they move to the cloud. One of the most popular reasons why corporate customers use a virtual machine is to evaluate the next generation operating system. With VMware, you can install, say, Windows 8 and give users access to it, without actually upgrading a specific machine or risking introducing an undesirable user experience into the enterprise. The latest version of VMware Workstation is optimized for running Windows 8 on Windows PCs. Its Easy Install feature simplifies the task of creating Windows 8 virtual machines. Its Unity mode will intelligently scale windows with Metro applications and multi-touch support will ensure you get the true Windows 8 experience in a virtual machine. One of the BEST reasons why you'd use VMware Workstation is its new web interface. It allows you to access your virtual machines from a tablet, smart phone, PC or any device with a modern browser.

Agenda • Detect Co-resident tool-1 side channel attack • Escape from virtual machine tool-2 escape from docker container tool-3 escape from vmware vm tool-4 escape from qemu vm Detect Co-residency Tool-1 basic information This basic principle of this tool is ,When the Central Processing Unit (CPU) handles atomic instructions, memory bus will be locked. The time it takes for two virtual machines to execute some atomic instructions at the same time is longer than the time that a virtual machine executes these code. Can be used to analyze instance placement algorithms. Tool-1 how to use single-channel dual-channel Escape from virtual machine Docker uses a technology called namespaces to provide the isolated workspace called the container. When you run a container, Docker creates a set of namespaces for that container. Tool-2 basic information Docker is a popular software containerization platform. Key target:namespace Prerequisites: privilege-escalation vulnerability Principle: change namespace of Docker container bash process Tool-2 how to use In this code, you should get the process object whose process id equals 1 firstly, and then copy all the namespace of this process object to the nampespace memory of current process. Tool-2 tips 1.Docker is reducing the number of syscall that can be called in the container; so some privilege-escalation vulnerabilities can not be used.
