So you mean to say if i use kali over vm i cant use GPU to Brute Force?
Also what if I dont install VMware Instead if I go for VirtualBox will it still wont allow GPU passthrough.
do you recommend going with Ubuntu KVM solution or in worst case with Hyper-V based solution (through Win10)
I have E5 1620 with DX79TO and 32 GB DDR3 RAM with 2x1060 6GB ones - My workload (NLP) requires fewer resources than CV - if I do this, I will get an option to run the system into separate containers/docker and also ensure deployable solution tested before putting it into source control
Let me evaluate both the options and share my experience.Initially when i was learning and could not afford to pay for a software, i went with VB or Vitualbox. Then someone introduced me with VMware Workstation 9 or 10 which i have been using till this date and i can tell you that its come a long way. I have a soft spot for Ubuntu in partcular so KVM is also a good choice or option. You can also check Proxmox, its getting popular these days.
Would agree with you on Hyper-V. I haven't used it much, just once, that was to build an Elementary OS VM.
I think hardware, you are good, thats depending on the workload again.
Yeah Nikhil, dont splurge do much into hardware. I think you're good from hardware wise but then everyone has their own opinion. For reference, i have a colleague who is running 3900X/64GB RAM with ESXi and running like 8 to 10 virtual machines at the same time with no lag, ofcourse he knows the limit of his hardware. He is mostly using OpenSuse or Debian or Fedora.Let me evaluate both the options and share my experience.
Thanks for your suggestion
Technically, Vmware does not need to QA for OS images. Kali does have Official Vmware,Virtual Box and Hyper-V Images in their website.One more thing, VMware also does not officially supports KALI Linux. Debian they do or in other words, the Support vanilla build for Linux and not Cinnamon,Parrot, Elementary or Kali,Lubuntu etc etc.
