virtualbox – Errors with Metasploitable3 using Virtual Box

admin

I’m trying to mount the version of Metasploitable3 in Virtual Box.
I got the version of Metasploitable3 from the following link:
portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/vagrant/discover/rapid7/metasploitable3-win2k8

According to what the Medium blog I found says, I should download the file, put the .zip extension, unzip and repeat with the unzipped file.

Medium blog for reference: medium.com/@Rootme/instalaci%C3%B3n-de-entorno-vulnerable-metasploitable-para-pr%C3%A1cticas-f4949c254392

After that i have the following files:

  • box.ovf
  • metadata.json
  • metasploitable3-win2k8-disk001.vmdk
  • Vagrantfile

In Virtual Box (I know that the Medium blog says VMWare but I’m trying it in Virtual Box because with VMWare I have another problem), I try to create a virtual machine, I select “Create an existing virtual Hard Disk file”:

Error virtual box

And this appears:

When trying to reselect the .vmdk file the error I have is:

It has the following error code:

Código de resultado:
E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)

If i try clicking the .ovf file, it seems to be imported but same error appears:

It is worth mentioning that I have already had several attempts:

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled Virtual Box
  • I have deleted the virtual machine from the C:\Users\myUsuario\VirtualBox VMs folder

I don’t know what else to do, any suggestions?
