Moving (back) to Mac & setting up CEH Labs

Moving after years back to a Mac. MacBook Air M4 as it has unified memory, let's see what the output is.

Gut feeling sooner or later I will move to a separate server with a high end nVidia.

First challenge was getting my labs up and running the labs for my Certified Ethical Hacker training. Via O'reilly I've started the course of Omar Santos (https://www.oreilly.com/search/?q=Omar%20Santos&rows=10).

Forgot apple moved during the years we've got kids from x86 to ARM, thus couldn't use the standard VirtualBox images. When reading a bit on it I stumbled upon some horror stories on getting Kali up and running on apple silicon.... however for me the install went smoothly. Used as reference this blog; https://kskroyal.com/kali-linux-virtualbox-apple-silicon/

Now happy to have a smooth setting for the labs, next step to see if websploit is able to run & get the coding tools on the main macOS image up and running.
