Hi folks,
For the first time I wanna show you how to setup windows xp as pentest lab using VirtualBox. Lets check it out.
First > Open VirtualBox then create new Virtual Machin by click New button in the toolbar.
Then named it WINXP or what ever you want, Type Microsoft Windows, and Version Windows XP then click Next.
Choose option "Create a virtual hard drove now" then click Create.
In the Hard drive file type choose "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)"
Then choose "Dynamical allocated".
And in the "File location and size " I just leave default with 10GB disk then click Create.
After create new virtual machine, I setup the VirtualBox network.
"Click File > Preferences > Network" then click green button 
After that, click press <space> in the keyboard or click icon 
then set the ip like screenshot below
then set the ip like screenshot below
At the DHCP Server tab setting like below then click OK.
Now, lets setup the Windows XP
Click virtual machine that created before then Click Settings button in the toolbar.
Choose Storage, then select "Empty disk" in the "Storage Tree" and "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file" then open the Windows XP iso file.
Still in the same window, choose Network option and check "Enable Network Adapter"
then "Attached to:" set to "Host-only Adapter" then click OK.
Run the Virtual machine to setup the Windows XP and setup like usual. I will not teach you how to install windows XP here, so you can google it. :D
Ok, now we need to make sure the Windows and Backtrack connected.
In the Windows XP click "Start > Run" type "cmd" then press Enter.
as you can see the IP is 192.168.56.2 the check the Backtrack IP
Open terminal and type:
root@bt:~# ifconfig vboxnet0
After that check the connection by pinging Backtrack from Windows XP and do the same from Backtrack (if you get time out, just disable firewall in windows xp)
