virtualbox issues using ubuntu 2004 on wsl2

[ltham79]

I am having the hardest time getting SecGen set up!!! It took me a few days to get this far. I have installed SecGen finally. When I run the secgen.rb

gets all the way to the end and errors

Project files created.
Building project: /home/syn/SecGen/projects/SecGen20230717_091121

No usable default provider could be found for your system.

Vagrant relies on interactions with 3rd party systems, known as
"providers", to provide Vagrant with resources to run development
environments. Examples are VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V.

The easiest solution to this message is to install VirtualBox, which
is available for free on all major platforms.

If you believe you already have a provider available, make sure it
is properly installed and configured. You can see more details about
why a particular provider isn't working by forcing usage with
vagrant up --provider=PROVIDER, which should give you a more specific
error message for that particular provider.
Non-zero exit status...

I hope you guys can help I am really excited to use SecGen as my pen testing playground.

Thanks in advance

Hi there. Sorry, this isn't going to be super useful, but you haven't got vagrant (and/or VirtualBox) installed properly. Good luck.

I followed the directions

---

syn@SYN-TER:~/SecGen$ vagrant --version
Vagrant 2.2.9

---

syn@SYN-TER:~/SecGen$ virtualbox --version
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

       sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Ive tried purge/installing vbox multiple times using the downloaded one and apt
after /sbin/vboxconfig this comes

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

now stuck again lol

sorry for all the questions

Maybe VirtualBox doesn't work with WSL?

[ltham79]

can you use secgen with vmware?

[cliffe]

No, not currently.

[ltham79]

well thanx for your help anyway :-(

[cliffe]

Install Linux dual boot, or you can even run SecGen in a Linux VM, if you enable nested virtualisation (if your BIOS supports it)

[ltham79]

Im working on that now. Still reading some other posts on getting vbox with wsl2 seems the problem is hyper V. I use wsl because its so much faster than vm and dont have the ram needed for a upperclass linux vm lol

[ltham79]

https://askalice97.medium.com/running-virtualbox-inside-of-wsl2-with-nested-virtualization-bde85046fe8d has figured it out but I dont understand half of the information on the page

Good luck!
