How to run an ISO as cdrom?

[oliveryasuna]

I am trying to run the Protostar ISO from https://exploit.education/downloads/ in UTM.

Directly with QEMU, I can run qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom exploit-exercises-protostar-2.iso -m 512, and it works. I cannot figure out how to make it work with UTM. Here is the command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -L /Applications/UTM.app/Contents/Resources/qemu -S -spice unix=on,addr=4990896C-4852-4E2D-8997-91958A82B3B5.spice,disable-ticketing=on,image-compression=off,playback-compression=off,streaming-video=off,gl=off -chardev spiceport,id=org.qemu.monitor.qmp,name=org.qemu.monitor.qmp.0 -mon chardev=org.qemu.monitor.qmp,mode=control -nodefaults -vga none -device e1000,mac=CA:E6:2A:0A:3C:2D,netdev=net0 -netdev vmnet-shared,id=net0 -device virtio-gpu-pci -smp cpus=2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -machine q35,vmport=off,i8042=off,hpet=off -accel tcg,tb-size=1024 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file.filename=/Applications/UTM.app/Contents/Resources/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd,file.locking=off,readonly=on -drive if=pflash,unit=1,file=/Users/oliveryasuna/Library/Containers/com.utmapp.UTM/Data/Documents/cs558_exploit_exercises_protostar_2.utm/Data/efi_vars.fd -m 4096 -audiodev spice,id=audio0 -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex,audiodev=audio0 -usb -device usb-tablet,bus=usb-bus.0 -device usb-mouse,bus=usb-bus.0 -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0 -device nec-usb-xhci,id=usb-controller-0 -chardev spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev0 -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev0,id=usbredirdev0,bus=usb-controller-0.0 -chardev spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1 -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=usb-controller-0.0 -chardev spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev2 -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev2,id=usbredirdev2,bus=usb-controller-0.0 -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,drive=driveDC8AEF1C-0640-41BD-80F8-DA119F50D142,bootindex=0 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=driveDC8AEF1C-0640-41BD-80F8-DA119F50D142,file=/Users/oliveryasuna/Downloads/exploit-exercises-protostar-2.iso,readonly=on -device virtio-serial -device virtserialport,chardev=org.qemu.guest_agent,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -chardev spiceport,id=org.qemu.guest_agent,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent -fsdev local,id=virtfs0,path=/Users/oliveryasuna/Dropbox/NEWNEWNEW/school/wpi/courses/cs_558,security_model=mapped-xattr -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=virtfs0,mount_tag=share -name cs558exploitexercisesprotostar2 -uuid 4990896C-4852-4E2D-8997-91958A82B3B5 -device virtio-rng-pci

When I run the VM, I get the following:

I also tried adding -cdrom PATH_TO_ISO to the arguments. No luck.

All help is appreciated, thank you!

Create a VM with the default settings and select your ISO as the removable drive.

default settings also start into shell and now trying to boot manager cdrom iso is not seen as iso but as USB disk

If the system on the .iso is EFI, then it will boot into the UEFI shell. Try turning UEFI Boot off in the QEMU settings category of the virtual machine.

That's intresting, I never seen this in documentation. Also, if I use Apple virtualization and iso image is UEFI then UEFI boot must be turned ON. Very confusing. sob., 13 lip 2024 o 02:05 Lev Grachov ***@***.***> napisał(a):
