Context:
I want to do a reverse shell POC, so I am using Kali Linux on virtual box hosted on a Windows machine. On the same network my Windows machine hosted, there is a Linux machine that I want to gain a reverse shell on it. Before doing so, I was checking if ping is working fine between the victim machine (another host) and the attack machine (Kali). Since it's a reverse shell, then the victim machine will initiate the connection to my machine (Kali), thus ping from victim to Kali is a prerequisite for this POC.
Setup:
I am using VirtualBox with Kali Linux, I set the network mode as bridged.Now I have IP with same range as my laptop (host).
IPs:
host IP: 10.36.56.178vm IP: 10.36.56.234another host IP: 10.25.1.29
From laptop to my vm: Ping works
From vm to my laptop: Ping works
From another host to laptop: Ping works
From laptop to another host : Ping works
From vm to another host: Ping works
From another host to vm: Ping DOES NOT WORK
Issue:
I cannot ping from the victim host (aka another host) to the Kali machine, I am using wrong network settings ?
