as of writing. with the second sandbox check, i honestly just let it stay as the original so the only sandbox checks are the first and the third. id chalk it up as the vm acting funky, right now im still trying to figure out how to get to the inet default binary because i can already connect to the c2.
EDIT: i noticed if you just set the dns on the ethernet adapter (as in the tutorial) things won’t work right (because itll still be using the dhcp config with dns set to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8) and not whatever you set on the adapter → ipv4 config. so you have to set it through Settings: Network 4 → Manual and then copy the rest of the target vm dhcp information (ip, subnet, gateway) and set the dns. itll boot you out the remote session but if you did it correctly youll be able to reconnect. You can then follow all the steps.
