- Testing on [AWS] nw-syd-vx[12] using QEMU in emulation mode rather than hypervisor/KVM mode
- Images and scripts in /usr/local/qemu_machines + /usr/local/bin/start(win|kali) + /etc/sudoers.d/start(win|kali)
- Installed qemu-system-x86 and bridge-utils packages
- startkali: starts Kali Linux, includes second interface (eth1) for link to Windows XP host established via up/down scripts for QEMU which set up a bridge and join eth1 (tap device) to the bridge. On termination the bridge is removed; thus the bridge must be up before Windows XP, and Windows XP should be shut down before Kali Linux
- startwin: starts Windows XP, up/down scripts link network tap device to bridge mentioned above
- Kali Linux second interface (eth1) has static IP address of 192.168.1.1/24
- Windows XP primary interface has static address of 192.168.1.2/24, no default route and no DNS servers
