Building the VM

The ChipWhisperer VirtualBox VM

Prerequisites

  • Vagrant
    • Note to users of Windows 7: Vagrant requires PowerShell version 3 or greater, but Windows 7 comes with version 2. To resolve this download and install Windows Management Framework 3.0 or greater (links to different versions can be found here). Despite being listed as compatible, some WMF versions may not work on your machine. Version 4 generally works for Windows 7.
  • VirtualBox with extensions installed
  • An internet connection for Vagrant/the VM to download the VM image and various packages

Building the VM

To build the VM, ensure you have the prerequisites installed and have a copy of the chipwhisperer-vagrant git repo (not yet available). Once you have those, navigate to the chipwhisperer-vagrant folder and run vagrant up to start building the VM. The entire build process should take 10-20 minutes (depending on your internet speed) and should complete everything (including host network settings) automatically. Once the build finishes, open a browser and try connecting to Jupyter (192.168.33.10:8888).
