The use of virtual machines is becoming increasingly popular, especially for cybersecurity professionals. In this article, we provide a detailed look at creating a virtual machine using VirtualBox on Mac OS using an ISO image of Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is one of the most user-friendly yet powerful Linux-based operating systems. Thanks to VirtualBox, Mac OS users can easily run Ubuntu side-by-side with macOS, allowing them to use a variety of tools and applications only available on Linux. Experience the power of combining Mac OS, VirtualBox and Ubuntu Linux today by following our expert guide!
Virtual machines are becoming a key tool for those seeking maximum security in the online space. They create an isolated environment that effectively blocks out potential threats and malware. Using a virtual machine reduces the risk of compromising the underlying system and provides an additional layer of protection against intrusions. Thus, for those who want to keep their data safe, virtual machines are becoming an indispensable tool in today’s digital world. VMware Player and VirtualBox are two well-known virtualization platforms for creating a virtual machine. Their key difference is that VMware Player is free for personal use only, while VirtualBox is completely free and open source software available for personal and commercial use. VMware Player is developed by VMware, a leader in virtualization, while VirtualBox is owned by Oracle. “Oracle” is an American corporation that specializes in the production of software, hardware for computing and other products and services in the field of information technology. VirtualBox, thanks to its transparent operation, has a larger set of features and settings, so we consider this virtual machine to be the best. Also, VirtualBox provides more flexible options and this is all thanks to its open source. On top of that, compatibility in VirtualBox, thanks to its open nature, supports a wider range of operating systems compared to VMware Player. Both tools, VMWare Player and VirtualBox, have their merits and each of them may be better depending on the specific use case scenario. The best way to determine which app best suits your needs is to install both and experiment with them. Only practice will help you figure out which virtual machine best meets your requirements.
