Why did you blank your MAC

But it looks correct. Make sure the VM is looking for DHCP

I've officially run into another issue

I don't remember that I made any changes other than changing it from NAT network to bridged adapter lol, and now it's not opening without me running it as admin

Even when I do run it as admin, the layout is different than it used to be before. My Metasploitable isn't displayed at all and it isn't showing any info on the Kali like it used to on startup

Correct, why would it see other traffic?

w33t•10/20/24, 6:29 PM

It's not broadcast traffic

Ww33t Correct, why would it see other traffic?

Zagreus HadesOP•10/21/24, 1:57 AM

Oh, I thought enabling promiscuous mode would allow it to capture packets being exchanged between all the devices on the same network

Zagreus HadesOP•10/21/24, 1:57 AM

How do you do that? Does Wireshark allow it?

ZZagreus Hades Oh, I thought enabling promiscuous mode would allow it to capture packets being ...
