SPICE Config

Shared Clipboard (copy/paste) & Automatic Screen Resizing

TO PREPARE:

  • Install virt-viewer on the Local PC / VM you'll be using to compete.
    • Link (scroll down): https://virt-manager.org/download
      • .MSI installer for Windows
      • .tar.xz for UNIX
    • Available on the default repos in most popular Linux distros via package manager install (apt / yum / dnf / pacman / etc... )

TO CONNECT:

  • Select "SPICE" from the drop-down in proxmox for the target host you'd like to connect to.
  • A file should automatically be downloaded.
  • Double-click this file. If virt-viewer is installed, it should automatically connect to the cloud host via SPICE.

ON GAME DAY:

NOTE: Only applied to Kali hosts in both Mini Hack challenges (this could be different on game day)

  • Enable the spice-vdagent on necessary hosts by using the following commands WITHIN the CLOUD HOSTS (Kali machines).

Commands:

sudo systemctl enable spice-vdagent
sudo systemctl start spice-vdagent

- It should work once enabled after relogging in.
