Setting up a new home lab for arp poisoning

As mentioned earlier I use a Kali version with Websploit for trying out my CEH labs.

Setting is Kali running with multiple containers to play around.
Do want to try now something new, made a new homelab to play around with things like ARP poisoning.

Setup was easy in VM box with 1 ubuntu and one cloned, but then the network part started.

While I've chosen clone instead of create new, I was smart enough to check the option " create new Mac"
unfortunately after running ifconfig it showed both of the times the same ip address, with different Macs...

Lesson learned, there first needed to be a virtual NAT to have both systems in the same network

while there was some tweaking needed the lab succeeded in running ettercap and Wireshark to do an arp poisoning from the attacker box and sniffing the traffic of the victim :-)
