Setting Static IP Addresses In VMware Fusion
During malware analysis, I frequently need to flip my analysis VM's between host-only and NAT to alternate between interacting with suspicious websites and man in the middling network traffic with various tools REMnux to simulate command and control traffic without tipping of the malicious operator. To avoid tinkering with IP settings on my analysis guest machines, I've taken to manually editing the VMware fusion DHCP configurations. I'm posting this here to help me commit the configuration to long term memory - mainly which files I need to edit - in the hopes that it saves me some googling when updates periodically wipeout this file. Maybe it will be useful to someone else too. My configuration (default) for NAT is vmnet 8. atom "/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf" My configuration (default) for host-only is vmnet 1. atom "/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf"
