The network consists of 2 machines, MS01 and the Domain Controller (DC). Setting this up on Virtual Box is pretty straight forward. First open Virtual Box and click on the 3 lines, then click on network:

From here we are going to make a 10.10.10.0/24 network, this is the network that needs to be created because the machines have static IP address that fall within this network on a /24 subnet mask and a 10.10.10.1 gateway. To do this right click and then click on Create… NOTICE* We are also in NAT Network.

Now we can create the 10.10.10.0/24 network:

Make sure that enable DHCP is clicked to on incase you want to use this network for more boxes, or you use the network in the future. Now you can just click apply and be finished. Now for the 2 machines, the MS01 machine has 2 network interfaces, one is on a bridged adapter and has DHCP, the other is on NAT Network, on the internal network that was just created and is a static IP address as shown below:

The DC machine has one network adapter and it is connected to the NAT Network Internal:

After this, that is it, you are ready to start attacking the machines. The machines can be downloaded through Vagrant from here:

Vagrant box overgrowncarrot1/MS01 v1 — Vagrant Cloud (vagrantup.com)

Vagrant box overgrowncarrot1/AD_DC v1 — Vagrant Cloud (vagrantup.com)

If you have never used Vagrant before here is a walkthrough on how to set it up:
