Dependencies :
Bash script developped/tested on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, with sshpass and fping (when using bridged adapter and IP is unknown from the VirtualBox Host)
What is the script doing
- Will list running VMs with VBoxManage whose name does not contain "windows" (ssh is assumed possible on all running VMs but won't work)
- Then it will SSH to the running VM using password vagrant and user vagrant depending on network configurations :
If using NAT, it will look for rule called *ssh* to find local port to use on localhost...
If using bridged network, it will look for ip in arp -a and if not found it will scan network using fping. It will remove the entry $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts in case the DHCP server assigned the IP previously assigned to some other MAC address
Usage
The script takes 2 optional parameters with following default values : ./sshPass.sh --username=vagrant --password=vagrant

Example Vagrantfile is provided : usually on Vagrant boxes SSH using password is disabled so the example uses shell provisioner to allow ssh with password
