VM Overview

Welcome to the realm of Virtual Machines!

In this section
  • The basics of a Virtual Machine.
  • How to create, start and connect your virtual machine.
  • How to transfer data to your virtual machine.
  • How to add users from your team to your virtual machine.
  • How to use the RDP and SFTP virtual machine functions.

The Virtual Machines tab allows users to start and manage Virtual Machine configurations and drives. Virtual machines are digital versions of a physical computer. They can run programs, store data, and connect to networks.

Historically, users spend most of their time in the virtual machine environment.

Virtual machines allow secure computation by upholding security through isolation. Each time, the VMs securely spin up new images of the underlying OS to avoid carrying over any chance of risk from the previous execution. The access to VMs is also public key cryptography-based, allowing the VMs to be owned by users, not admins.

Auditing is the most significant reporting feature, as every action is tracked whenever files move in and out of the VM. This action gives a clear history of what happened, allowing users to verify the VM if required. VMs allow complete ownership to researchers as no tool/ mechanism restrictions are in place; instead, all the security is upheld at the tiCrypt level with no compromise to provide secure processing.

Virtual Machines Overview

In the following videos, you will perform a few actions in your virtual machines tab.

note

Before taking action, make sure your admin has already set up the hardware for you to be able to create virtual machines and drives.
