    Setup a Cyber Lab

    Prerequisites

    VMware Workstation Pro installed


    Two Ubuntu ISO images (one for the Gateway VM and one for VM1)

    NOTE: Network interfaces may changes depending on you installations

    Create the Gateway VM

    Open VMware Workstation and click on Create a New Virtual Machine


    Select the ISO Image for Ubuntu, then follow the installation steps to install Ubuntu.
    After installation, configure two network adapters for the Gateway VM:
    - Go to the VM Settings of the Gateway VM.
    - Network Adapter 1: Set it to NAT .
    - Network Adapter 2: Set it to Host-Only (VMNet1) .
    This setup enables the gateway to route traffic from the host VM (VM1) to the internet.

    Configure Ubuntu on the Gateway VM

    Run the following commands to install necessary packages

    sudo apt update


    sudo apt install net-tools iptables-persistent

    Configure IP forwarding: Open the sysctl configuration file:


    sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

    Uncomment the line net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 , then save and close the file. Activate it immediately by running:
    sudo sysctl -p

    Configure NAT: Use iptables to enable NAT for forwarding traffic from the inet2 (host-only) network to
    the internet:

    sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s3 -j MASQUERADE


    sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i enp0s3 -o enp0s8 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
    sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i enp0s8 -o enp0s3 -j ACCEPT

    Replace enp0s3 with the NAT interface and enp0s8 with the host-only interface. Save the rules: sudo sh -c
    "iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4"

    2. Create the Host VM (VM1)

    1. Create a second VM for VM1 (Ubuntu Desktop) by selecting Create New Virtual Machine in VMware.
    2. Network Adapter: Ensure VM1 has only one network adapter, set to Host-only (VMNet1) .
    3. Install Ubuntu using the provided ISO image.
    4. Assign Static IP to VM1:
    Edit the network configuration file: sudo nano /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml
    Configure it to have a static IP:

    network:
    ethernets:
    ens33:
    addresses: [10.1.1.10/24]
    gateway4: 10.1.1.1
    nameservers:
    addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]
    version: 2

    Save the file and apply the changes: sudo netplan apply

    3. Test Connectivity Between VMs

    1. Ping from VM1 to the Gateway: On VM1, test the connection to the gateway with the following
    command:
    2. Test Internet Access from VM1: On VM1, ping a public IP like Google's DNS:

    Exercise

    Objective: Ensure that the VM1 Apache server is accessible from the public internet via the Gateway VM.
    1. Configure all components as described.
    2. Install apache2 web server
    3. Test and document the following:
    Connectivity between VM1 and Gateway.
    Internet access from VM1.
    Apache server running on VM1 and accessible locally.
    Public access to the Apache server via the Gateway's IP.
    4. Extra Task: Secure the Apache server using basic firewall rules (use ufw to allow port 80 and deny
    other ports).
