VMware Settings

1. Create New VM - Choose "Other Linux 5.x kernel 64-bit" (or Debian 12 64-bit)
2. RAM: Minimum 4 GB, recommended 8 GB
3. Disk: 40 GB minimum
4. Processors: 2+ cores
5. Network: NAT or Bridged

Important Settings

• Enable Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT
• USB Controller: USB 3.1 for WiFi adapter passthrough
• Display: Enable 3D acceleration, 256MB+ graphics

Installation

1. Mount NullSec Linux ISO
2. Boot VM - Select "Install NullSec Linux"
3. Follow installer (Debian-based)
4. Choose your edition (Minimal/Standard/Full/Server/IoT)
5. After install, remove ISO and reboot

Post-Install

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop -y
sudo systemctl status vmtoolsd

Tips

• If resolution doesn't adjust, install open-vm-tools-desktop and reboot
• USB passthrough: VM - Removable Devices - select adapter
• Snapshot before testing anything destructive!

Let me know if you hit any issues.
