Introduce a new script,
vbox-build-remnux.py
, to automate the building and exporting of customized REMnux virtual machines. The script utilizes a YAML configuration file (remnux.yaml
) to define the VM name, export settings, and a series of commands to execute within the guest VM.The code and logic are similar to the existing
vbox-build-flare-vm.py
, ensuring consistency between the two build processes. To avoid code duplication, several common functions, such ascontrol_guest
,take_snapshot
, andrename_old_snapshot
, have been moved to thevboxcommon.py
module.The REMnux build process includes:
remnux.yaml
configuration. These commands can include installing additional packages, configuring the environment, and installing tools like IDA Pro and GNOME extensions (e.g., Dash to Panel).Also fix a bug I encountered during testing becase the
aborted
VM state was not properly handled in the shutdown check.
