+## Get your own MISP instance
+
+The intention of this chapter is to support you in getting your own MISP instance up and running.
+
+
+### MISP Virtual Machine
+
+CIRCL maintains the image of a recent MISP virtual machine online.
+
+This is a very easy out of the box solution, optimized for product evaluation and to support trainings hold by CIRCL staff.
+
+The images is updated on a regular base. You should frequently re-visit the online resources to get the latest versions including bug fixes and new features.
+
+
+#### MISP VM Download
+
+The best place to get the latest version of the MISP virtual machine, as well as all the available training materials is the [MISP training materials page] [1] on the CIRCL website.
+
+If you do not remember the direct link to the MISP training materials here are the very easy to remember step you have to follow to reach the right place:
+
+1. Access the [CIRCL homepage] [2]
+2. Navigate to the [Training area] [3]
+3. Click [MISP Malware Information Sharing Platform - Threat Sharing] [4]
+4. Follow the link to the [Training materials freely available] [1]

+
+The instructions in this manual covers VirtualBox only. If you prefer another virtualization solution like VMWare you can find some quick instruction on the [MISP training materials page] [1].
+
+
+#### MISP VM Credentials
+
+The MISP image is pre-configured to be reachable on the private IP address **192.168.56.50** by SSH. The GUI is reachable by **http://192.168.56.50/**.
+
+MISP credentials:
+
+*   **GUI User:** user@misp.training : Password1234
+*   **GUI Admin:** admin@misp.training : Password1234
+*   **Shell/SSH:** misp : Password1234
+*   **MySQL User:** misp : Password1234
+*   **MySQL Root:** root : Password1234
+
+
+#### Potential issues
+
+During life trainings we see in rare cases that some users could not reach the virtual machine over the virtual network.
+
+Some investigations discover that this always happens with user whom already had VirtualBox in use before and had already one or more **Host-only Adapter** configured in advance.
+
+The MISP image is pre-configured to use **Host-only Adapter** with the Name **vboxnet0**.
+

+
+If this is already occupied by previous VirtualBox projects, try to attach the network adapter to the next available **Host-only** network.
