Battlestation

Battlestation is a set of scripts designed to help manage VirtualBox VMs on a public network such that the VMs can be used as training tools for security and penetration testing.

Note that there is an inherent risk of running vulnerable VMs on a public network. The host computer should not be used for other purposes and should not have any personal information stored on the device. Make sure to back the device up completely before any session involving a group of people in a public network.
