How to Install an OSx VM inside of Linux?

[LinuxNoob1226]

Hey all,

I met a few guys on here a while back that were really helpful in helping me understand Linux a bit better.

As luck would have it, I live in a hurricane prone area and just as I was learning Linux, Irma came and wiped out my internet for an extremely painful length of time, just when I was getting the ball rolling. I'm back now and I've been learning some new things. I was reading some articles and youtube videos about keeping my network safe and how kali linux was good for penetration and security testing.

My question is: Is there a way to set up a mac OS virtual machine/box , inside of linux? Every single thing I come across tells me the steps on how to set one up if i have a mac and want a linux VM, or have windows and want an OSX vm---- but the information on how to do it if i want a Mac osx VM installed on my Kali OS seems to be scant to say the least

Any advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Mike! Why would VirtualBox running in Windows be any different than VirtualBox running in Linux? I mean, there may be some differences, but why don't you just try to follow the same directions and see if if works. I guess you have some kind of Mac OS installer, like an .iso file, or something... right?

I'm not sure that Kali is the best distro to practice stuff like this. Kali is not designed to "keep your network safe"... it is designed to break into other people's networks. But it is still Debian under the hood, so it should run VirtualBox and not be much different from other distros (with the exception that Debian does not include non-free software or binary blobs, so you might have to download drivers, etc).

I keep saying VirtualBox because it's the only one I'm familiar with, but there are others. What do you plan to use? I have zero experience with Mac, so I doubt I will be able to help you too much with this as you go forward.

Sorry to hear about your problems with the hurricane! There has been a lot of that this year, for sure!
