Ask about worm spreading via Virtual Machines

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 
Wish all of you have a nice day!
I want to ask some question about my lab at school. Please help me. Very appreciate!

My teacher ask me to spread worm via virtual machines. Firstly, I use tool to create worm. After create it, I can use email or USB to infect it to victim computer (1st virtual machine). The victim will double click on that worm and this computer will be infected.

And that worm will be spreading to another victim computer (2nd virtual machine) via network.

I attached a picture, please see it to easier understand (sorry for my bad English)

I have some question wanna ask:

What's tool I can use to make worm (I searched and found the tool called "Internet Worm Maker Thing", do you know another tool that makes stronger and more feature worm?)

What's type of Network Adapter I can use Host-only, NAT or Bridge?. If I use Host-only, VMs can ping each others, but I don't know if worm can spread when I use Host-only mode? I just want to research this lab on VMs, not want to infect my real computer.

How worm on 1st virtual machine can spread and infect 2nd virtual machine via LAN if I use virtual machines to research this lab? Do I need to disable Windows Firewall or other system security features?

I really need your help to make done this lab. Any comment will be very appreciated!
Thank you very much, all of you!

Actually it would take a very ignorant person to get your worm for many reasons.  First a lot of organizations don't allow attachments or hyperlinks in emails.  Secondly to infect another VM it would need to have a connection to the VM and we don't even share hosts with VMs so the worm can't see the host it surely cannot see another VM.  Also most malware is designed so it will not run on a VM and will even delete its installers that may be downloaded to a VM.  This is done to prevent the examination of the malware by the writers.  So any  developed malware program will include this ability since the writers don't want their code and methods easily tested.  But don't let that stop you, just learn how to write your own programs.

It means I can't use VMs to set up this lab, it can be done when using real machines, right?
