In bridged mode, you're virtual adapter for the VM gets an IP on the network like a real machine would. before entering the real pen testing, I already got so much confusion, thanks a loooooot ! can you guys advise ?Ĥ, sorry, my question or description of the question are a little mess.words in bold are questions. I noticed some posts mentioning that there should be a bridged connection between host-only adapter and one local area connection(also an adapter, in my scenario, host ethernet adapter is supposed to take this role), but I don't think it is true. so it appears that eth0 only works for Bridge and eth1 only works for host-only, is that right ?ģ. When I bring eth1 down and bring eth0 up, from host terminal, I cannot ping ip for eth0, but from Kali terminal I can ping host machine and 8.8.8.8, cannot ping host-only adapter, cannot open up in browser( it really confused me.) if I bring eth0 down and bring eth1 down, can only ping host-only adapter.

Also configure eth0, eht1, host-only adapter and host ethernet adapter into the same subnet. then in bridge mode of virtualbox setting, I selected host ethernet adapter name from dropdown list as the one for bridge. continued the above scenario.I assumed that is normal.

then I enabled Bridged mode, I thought there should be a new ethernet interface showing up on host, however, it didn't(until now only two interfaces on adapter settings, one is host ethernet interface, the other is host-only) . I think that is how host-only mode works. By using eth0, I can ping host-only adapter on host successfully, but cannot ping host ethernet adapter. firstly I enabled host-only network mode in virtualbox for Kali. Host window10, guest Kali linux, eth0 and eth1(both are in same subnet, also same as host-only adapter ), use both host-only and bridged modes.

I recently set up a lab for pen testing, but stuck by a few networking issues.
