Manual de redes en VirtualBox

Mensaje de erdosain:

Mi inquietud por traducir el manual se debió a las grandes posibilidades de hacer prácticas de hacking con una máquina virtual (VM): como seguramente ya sabrán, VB nos permite armar una red virtual, podemos comunicarnos con y desde una VM como si fuera una red física real, el sistema operativo instalado tendrá una dirección IP, puertos que escanear, etc. Esto es especialmente útil para los que todavía no disponemos de una conexión de Internet para practicar o para hacerlo mediante una VM sin el peligro de estropear algo (salvo la VM, claro) y sin molestar a nadie; en este sentido creo que la traducción puede ser de gran utilidad para la comunidad. No estoy seguro de si existe ya un manual en castellano, hice un googleo superficial y sólo encontré tutoriales acerca de la instalación de una VM o textos en inglés.
