Installation

Installed on VMWare Workstation Pro without using WSL. Just Python and GIT.

Some errors encountered during installation:

1. Permission error on private key:

   

   OpenSSH strictly requires that private keys have restrictive permissions and be accessible only to the current user (or SYSTEM/Administrators). On Windows, permission inheritance grants read access to groups such as Authenticated Users or Users, which blocks the SSH client.

   

2. The link embedded inside Ansible configuration from GitHub was no more valid. So I download manually the exe, renamed and copied manually inside the SRV02 and SRV03 machine c:\setup\mssql\sql_installer.exe:

   

   Thanks to Gemini: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866658

   

3. SSMS install hangs → SSMS is OPTIONAL: the MSSQL service and ALL vulnerabilities are installed before it, and an attacker uses impacket-mssqlclient from Kali, not SSMS.

   

   From PROVISIONING VM you must comment these 4 lines inside the file /home/vagrant/GOAD/ansible/server.yml:

   

   

   Retype install in Vagrant console after doing this modification.

Run

cd V:\GOAD\
python.exe goad.py -m vm
provision_lab
