Today I have tried to set up GameOver.iso, one of many interesting live linux environement that is meant to be training tool for learning about web application security. I must admit that I like it, altrough I had a little problems and confusion in start. Actually it is linux live CD that set up web server with vulnerable web applications that you can try to hack. As I had used some of the linux distributions that are ment to be training environement like OWASP live CD, I expected also some graphical environement. Tried startx command from console, but nothing happened. Then I learned that it just starts server, and you had to access vulnerable websites from other machine via browser. Other problem I had is that I put live CD on machine on VirtualBox, but I left predefined NAT network adapter settings. You have to change it to bridge mode to be able to access virtual machine from phisical by IP address. After this I was up and running with almost all training environement that exists. Let me elaborate with quotation what contains Game Over live CD:
