I think I may be able to contribute to this thread. I have a lot of VMware Workstation activation keys for corp use so the same key can be used multiple machines. If any one needs one, just shoot me a pm and you shall receive.

and just so every one knows. You can download the VMware image of both Kali and Backtrack5r3 directly from their sites and save your self the set up and installation time of the iso image.

Thanks for the feedback guys, JackChitt, spreading activation keys on this forum is not allowed :/ thanks though.

Thanks for the feedback guys, JackChitt, spreading activation keys on this forum is not allowed :/ thanks though.

I got these keys from a few laptops and old desktops I purchased, by auction, when a local firm closed in my area. I own and have sole rights to these keys. They are NOT stolen or in any way obtained in an illegal manner so with that being said, I have the rights to give them to who I wish. I am not posting them publicly so there for, I am not spreading them on this forum. I am simply giving them to people who I see fit. It is no different than people giving Netflix, HuluPlus or any other account or voucher away on here, with exception I actually own these accounts. If you would like me to remove my post, I will. I was just trying to help the visitors of your thread before they went and got infected downloading some sketchy torrent cracked version because they couldn't afford the $249.00 licence fee.

[LeBroNN]

Nice tutorial bro, helps for me thank you!

[franzl]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have some questions.

1. Is there a special reason for saying "take the 64 bit version" and will this work with the x86 version too?
2. Will Debian 6 work also in the settings?
3. Why do you chose "bridged" in the network connection settings?
