BanditLab - Ubuntu based Linux VM for Digital Forensics
----------------
It was supposed to be a lightweight Linux distribution for digital forensics
and incident response, but it kind of spiraled out of control.

Primarily focused on the Apple Silicon and ARM64 based systems.
The X86_64 architecture is now supported as well!

Prerequisites:
---------------
**Multipass**

Ubuntu Multipass is a tool developed by Canonical that allows users to create, manage,
and configure lightweight virtual machines (VMs) on their local system,
specifically designed for Ubuntu environments.

Installation:

* via Brew -> brew install multipass
* via stand alone installer ->

Lab Deployment:
----------------
The following command will create a VM named BanditLab with 2GB of RAM and a 15GB disk.
- You can adjust the VM name and hardware specifications according to your preferences.

Cloud-Init for the MacOS or ARM architecture:
```

multipass launch -n BanditLab -m 2GB -d 15G --cloud-init https://github.com/0CM/BanditLab/raw/main/BanditLab-aarch64.yaml

```

Cloud-Init for the X86_64 architecture:
```

multipass launch -n BanditLab -m 2GB -d 15G --cloud-init https://github.com/0CM/BanditLab/raw/main/BanditLab-x86-64.yaml

```

Log into the VM:
```
multipass shell BanditLab
```
Stop the VM:
```
multipass stop BanditLab
```
Delete the VM:
```
multipass delete BanditLab
multipass purge
```
Share folder between the VM and host system:
```
multipass mount path/to/local/folder BanditLab:/home/ubuntu/DATA
```

In order to see files in the macOS folder Full Disk access for Multipass is required.

```
System Preferences > Security & Privacy Preferences > Full Disk Access
```

Alternatively you can copy files to and from the VM via transfer command

Copy file FROM the VM to a host machine
```
multipass transfer BanditLab:/home/ubuntu/evidence/MFT.csv ./
```

Copy file TO the VM from a host machine
```
multipass transfer ./image.E01 BanditLab:/home/ubuntu/evidence
```

Lab Help:
----------------
Run the alias command to get a list of shortcuts for running the custom tools.
