In this video, we're going to go over what you're going to need for this course.

00:05.170 --> 00:07.780
So it's going to be pretty simple.

00:07.780 --> 00:10.330
You're going to need admin rights to your machine.

00:10.510 --> 00:15.100
You're going to be able you're going to need to be able to enable virtualization in your Bios.

00:15.130 --> 00:20.500
A lot of times this is off, and you're going to want to check with your hardware vendor to see how

00:20.500 --> 00:24.880
to get in the Bios and how to set that you're going to need internet access.

00:24.880 --> 00:29.170
And if you're watching this course, chances are you already have a good internet connection, or at

00:29.170 --> 00:31.600
least an internet connection itself.

00:33.060 --> 00:37.020
We're going to need 40 gigs or more of hard drive space free.

00:37.020 --> 00:41.310
And also you're going to want to have eight gigs or memory or more.

00:41.430 --> 00:48.450
For Mac users that are using an M1 or M2 processor, you're going to need a VirtualBox alternative.

00:48.450 --> 00:56.460
VirtualBox doesn't run really well with, um, the new M chips at the time of this recording.

00:56.460 --> 01:02.130
So an alternative is if you go to Mac dot, get UTM dot app.

01:03.180 --> 01:10.290
Uh, a lot of students in my previous courses at that took it that have M1, M2 processors had a lot

01:10.290 --> 01:13.260
of good success with that, and it is a free program.

01:14.340 --> 01:23.370
So other than that to be, if you're wondering about Osint and do you really need to set up a virtual

01:23.370 --> 01:24.810
machine and whatnot?

01:25.770 --> 01:33.900
No, technically you run Osint on a phone, tablet, a telephone, a tablet, a regular computer, pretty

01:33.900 --> 01:38.880
much anything with a browser or internet connection or other publicly available sources.

01:40.490 --> 01:47.330
However, we're running a VM because it is best practices to run a virtual machine, and we'll go over

01:47.330 --> 01:50.360
more about why we want to do that.

01:50.390 --> 01:56.750
So again, you want to make sure that you have at least 40 gigs of hard drive space or three or more.

01:56.960 --> 02:04.730
Um, so anywhere between 50 to 60 gigs is going to be, uh, plenty of space, a at least eight gigs

02:04.730 --> 02:05.570
of memory.

02:05.570 --> 02:12.740
And again, for those Mac users with the M1 and M2 processor, you're going to want to find a alternative

02:12.740 --> 02:17.330
for VirtualBox like Mac Dot Getmap.

02:17.330 --> 02:19.070
So thank you for watching.

02:19.070 --> 02:20.180
I'll see you in the next video.
