Installing EVE-NG client pack

The client pack that comes with EVE-NG allows us to choose which application is used when you telnet or SSH to the device (either PuTTY or SecureCRT) and set up Wireshark for remote packet captures between links. Also, it facilitates work on RDP- and VNC-based images. First, you need to download the client pack to your PC from http://eve-ng.net/index.php/downloads/windows-client-side-pack, then extract the file to C:\Program Files\EVE-NG:

The extracted files contain many scripts written in Windows batch scripting (.bat) to configure the machine that will be used to access EVE-NG. You will find scripts that configure the default Telnet/SSH client and another one for Wireshark and the VNC. The software sources are also available inside the folder:

If you are using a Linux desktop such as Ubuntu or Fedora, then you could use this excellent project from GitHub to get the client pack: https://github.com/SmartFinn/eve-ng-integration.
