Hyper-V: AttackBridge installation guide for Windows

Hardware requirements:

1. Resources: at least 4 cores, 16 gb ram, 40 gb of free disk space;
2. CPU capable of hardware virtualisation;

Prerequisites for Hyper-V:

1. Windows host that can Hyper-V; Hyper-V itself could be set up automatically.(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/#system-requirements)

To run AttackBridge in a Linux VM it needs to met following prerequisites:

• a modern Ubuntu LTS Linux installation (24.04);
• at least 2 CPU cores;
• 6 GB or more of RAM;
• at least 30 GB of free disk space;
• a network adapter in a Bridge mode to be capable of ARP discovery and to have an ability to accept incoming connections.

The following guide will provide instructions for Microsoft Hyper-V:

1. Open https://multipass.run/download/windows; then run downloaded file “multipass-<version>-win64.exe”

1. Proceed with an installation, using defaults; reboot your computer if the installer asks to:

1. Please look up your network connection name, it would be useful for the next step:

1. Open a command line prompt ( Press “Win” key, then type “cmd”, then press “Enter”); you need to run the following command to configure the network adapter that will be used for bridging, using its name from the previous step:

multipass set local.bridged-network="Ethernet"

1. Then run the following command to create a new primary VM:

multipass launch --name primary --cpus 2 --disk 30G --memory 6G --network bridged

1. Answer “yes” if prompted; then wait till the end of installation:

1. Now you can open Linux shell with “multipass shell” command:

multipass shell

1. Copy and paste this two lines to your terminal, one by one:

curl -fsSL [<https://get.docker.com>](<https://get.docker.com/>) -o [get-docker.sh](<http://get-docker.sh/>)
sudo sh ./get-docker.sh

1. docker should be installed, and you can check if it functions properly with the following command:

sudo docker run hello-world

10. Now that the system has been updated and docker is installed, it is ready for your AttackBridge script. Simply paste your script into the terminal once you're ready.
