Possible to setup an internal wireless network?


Whats going on guys...I am interested if its possible to setup an internal wireless network of some kind? Im new to virtualbox but I understand that the guest only sees the host connection as wired, regardless if its wired or wireless when setting up bridged network, etc unless you buy an usb adapter of some kind.

What about an completely internal wireless network with no outside internet connection? Like if I setup virtual routers and link all my virtualbox machine in one internal network of some kind.

How does one run their wireless tools within a controlled environment without using physical machines and such? I currently am running my internal network for school but just seems so limited or maybe thats just virtualbox?

Correct.

You can use VB'S internal networking to configure an isolated network for your virtual machines including a virtual router but it is a virtual wired environment.

You can not.

Thanks for the response. Usually try to at least look into things myself but couldn't find all that much... Ill just have to setup a physical lab to mess around or virtual box with external connection, even though I dont feel safe exposing exploitable programs

about that, http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w....php/Main_Page
I refuse to believe you couldn't "find all that much" Try shorter queries such as

leads to VirtualBox and Networking – How you do it.

have fun!

Not sure anyone has created a virtual machine wireless nic as such. You could if you wish maybe.
