Saturday stuff
I am now running FreeBSD with Lumina Desktop Environment in VirtualBox on MX Linux (based on Debian) with KDE Plasma, on a nine year old 12” MacBook (2017).
Why? Because you can. It's fun.

CW: 如何安装虚拟机软件 VirtualBox , 问题及解决方法 2/2
5、不能使用主机与虚拟机的共享文件夹。
A、在主机设置一个共享文件夹, 例如名字叫做“share”, 不能使用中文文件夹名字, 会出错。
/home/UserName/share/B1、在主机, 打开 VirtualBox, 设置某个虚拟机系统的共享文件夹:
→Shared Folders,
→点击绿色的“+”号(Add new shared folder),
→Folder Path(点击下拉选择,例如:刚才设置的共享文件夹:/home/UserName/share/),
→Folder Name(会自动填写为 “share”),
→Mount Point(手工输入: /mnt/share, 虚拟机操作系统内的登录节点),
→Auto-mount(勾选),
→OK(点击),
→OK(另一个, 在最下方,点击)B2、重新登录虚拟机操作系统,就可以看到共享文件夹(/mnt/share)的内容。
B3、有些虚拟机操作系统: Linux OS, 需要在虚拟机操作系统内, 执行以下命令:
$ sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf UserName
$ sudo chown -R UserName:users /mnt/share
$ sudo reboot
这里的“UserName”, 为虚拟机操作系统的管理员(admin)账号。B4、重新登录虚拟机操作系统,就可以看到共享文件夹(/mnt/share, 即 /home/UserName/share )的内容。
6、某些特殊的虚拟机操作系统: Linux OS, 不能复制、粘贴到主机。
在虚拟机操作系统内, 根据不同 Linux OS, 执行以下命令:
A、
增加两行命令到 “startup”, 保存, 然后重启虚拟机操作系统。
$ sudo nano /home/UserName/.desktop-session/startupVBoxClient --clipboard &
VBoxClient --draganddrop &
或者B、
增加两行命令到 “/home/UserName/.profile”, 保存, 然后重启虚拟机操作系统。
$ sudo nano /home/UserName/.profileVBoxClient --clipboard &
VBoxClient --draganddrop &Debian-12 家族的某个 Linux 发行版,复制、粘贴到主机,
Default Xsession: OK
Xfce Session: NGDebian-13 家族的同一个 Linux 发行版, 已经解决了这个问题。
Default Xsession: OK
Xfce Session: OK一个 Linux 发行版, 如果不能复制、粘贴到到主机, 可以尝试选择不同的桌面(gnome, kde, mate, xfce 等)。
7、如果安装了多个虚拟机操作系统, 在某个虚拟机操作系统内, 更新了扩展包 VirtualBox-extpack(Guest Additional CD image),
关闭之前, 要卸载 Guest Additional CD image,
否则其他虚拟机操作系统,就不能更新扩展包 VirtualBox-extpack(Guest Additional CD image)。8、Virtual Media Manager 不见了。
VirtualBox 开始界面, 顶部第一行:
→File,
→Preferences(点击),
→Basic / Expert, 选择 Expert , 点击右下角的"OK",→File,
→Tools,
→Media(可以看到 “Media” 等7个选项。如果选择了"Basic", 就不会显示 “Media”、“NetWork” 这两个选项。 )鄙人, 手误选择了 “Basic”, 并且点击了"OK", 后来找不到 “Media” 选项。
反复安装 VirtualBox 7.2.12,VirtualBox 7.2.14,
电脑管理员(admin)用户, 可以看到 "Media" 这个选项,
但是电脑普通用户(user), 看不到 “Media” 这个选项。不知道原因, 已经放弃了。
仍然不死心, 搜索了一下关键词: "virtualbox Media disappear",
第一个结果, 就是正确答案。
鄙人归因错误, 以为是 VirtualBox 软件在电脑普通用户账号上出了问题, 这一点不合逻辑。
实际原因就是: 鄙人在电脑普通用户账号, 使用 VirtualBox, 自己选择了 “Basic” 这个模式, 导致 VirtualBox 不显示 “Media” 这个选项。Virtual Media Manager not showing in VirtualBox
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/virtual-media-manager-not-showing-in-virtualboxWhere is Virtual Media Manager
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=1130119、有时, 虚拟机软件 VirtualBox 升级后, 不能使用, 可以考虑降级, 重新安装旧版本。
所以, 新版本安装后, 不要急于删除旧软件。如果没有特殊需求, 虚拟机软件 VirtualBox 不必经常更新, 能用就好。
每一次更新, 都有可能遇到问题。
如果有时间, 愿意折腾, 上山下海,上天入地,寻找答案, 确实可以提高技能。
因为这次逃避、忽略的问题, 下次可能又会遇到。警告:
虚拟机软件 VirtualBox, 不是万能灵丹妙药。
如果主机安装了支那( ChiNa/SiNa ) 软件, 例如:QQ, Weixin, Wechat, Sogou, Douyin, TikTok 之类, 虚拟机也不能保护您。珍惜生命, 远离支那软件。

Tested BashCoreV in a real‑world CTF setup:
installed OpenCode via SSH from BashCore, then used the tiny ~100 MB micro‑VM to capture a flag on a Windows 10 machine running XAMPP (firewall and Defender fully active).
Everything worked flawlessly.

FreeBSD in Oracle VirtualBox
A pleasant change with FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-amd64-20260713-60382b4a04fa-287406-disc1.iso
― it seems that hw.efi.poweroff is no longer preset to 1.
Two related bug reports:
— #22021 (FreeBSD VM with EFI: "poweroff" fails) – Oracle VirtualBox — <https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/22021>
— 277450 – "poweroff" does not power off the system when EFI is used — <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277450>.
I can not find an explanation in the src tree: <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=grep&q=hw.efi.poweroff>.
Postscript: I can not find an explanation because I had accidentally booted a previous installation of CURRENT (not FreeBSD Installer).
hw.efi.poweroff is still 1 by default.

Assigned OpenCode (running natively on my BashCore OS) a full CTF mission using only BourneCore (my minimal illumos/OpenIndiana Unix live system) and its tools via SSH.
No GUI, no browser, just pure CLI.
BourneCore handled port‑knocking, SSH, RCE, privesc and full flag capture. All from a tiny VM (2 cores, 2GB RAM).
Two different OS working together as one solid cross‑platform lab.

VMkatz: скрытая угроза для виртуальной инфраструктуры
В 2026 году был опубликован инструмент VMkatz. По функционалу он напоминает широко известный инструмент Mimikatz, но, в отличие от него, целью VMkatz является извлечение учетных данных напрямую из файлов виртуальных машин (снимков памяти и виртуальных дисков) без необходимости входа внутрь гостевых Windows-систем. VMkatz может работать с файлами виртуальных машин разных платформ, включая VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, VirtualBox и QEMU/KVM.

@onkelmarkus @Ollital @ulfi @Quoidian
Dein Tipp war super ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Ich musste in #virtualbox von "NAT" auf"Netzwerkbrücke" umstellen, jezt wird der Drucker auch erkannt, leider Druckt er immer noch nicht, der Treiber scheint einen Fehler zu haben.
Habe dann zum testen #linuxmint lmde-7 (Debian Version) als VM installiert (Netzwerbrücke selektiert) und den Treiber von Brother als "DEB" heruntergeladen und installiert.
Siehe da, Drucker und Scanner funktionieren. 🤩
Aber ich wollte ja ein neues OS mit Rolling Release.
➡️ Also suche ich ein Linux OS (Rolling Release) welches den Brother Treiber entweder als "DEB" oder "rpm" installieren lässt. Nach meiner Erkenntnis fallen "Arch" basierende Distros aus.

Доступ к VirtualBox и Hyper-V без агента в гостевой ОС — на примере клиента EvertyDesk Lite
Как дать админу доступ к виртуальным машинам на удалённом хосте без агента внутри гостевой ОС — на примере VirtualBox и Hyper-V. Один RDP-движок на оба гипервизора, три бага VirtualBox по дороге и таймаут, который переписал всю архитектуру.

@oxy I enjoyed a killing on Kubuntu 26.04 a day or so ago.
IIRC free memory and swap were nearly exhausted (unrelated to ARC) due to VirtualBox throwing a wobbly with a FreeBSD guest, following a disrupted connection to an old mobile hard disk drive on USB, which I use (with OpenZFS) to store the virtual hard disks for many of my test machines.
I feared that Firefox would be killed.
Happily: Linux made VirtualBox, which was not responding, the victim.
