This script will automatically set up an open source intelligence (OSINT) workstation starting from a clean Ubuntu* 20.4 Virtual Machine/Workstation.
Best practices recommend using a new VM for each OSInt investigation.
There are several ready-made VMs available on the Internet. I wanted to study how to customise my own workstation following what Michael Bazzell suggest in his own book, Open Source Intelligence Techniques - 7th Edition (2019), about creating your own custom VM.
This script will setup the workstation by installing mostly of the scripts suggested by Michael and more and more other tools will be added in the future.

This script implies that you rely on VmWare for virtualization. Just in case, I included a commented out portion of code which will install virtual box tools.
