I'm trying to debug an issue and trying to figure out if a particular Machine of mine even has an IP. How can I show all the leases of a Virtualbox DHCP server? The reason I can't just log into the guest is, that it's a Vulnhub VM. Finding out a way to log into the machine is the whole point of the exercise.

You can always go into the guest and issue an ipconfig to find out if it has a lease or not. Otherwise it should show up in the network tab in the network manager of Virtual Box– LPChipNov 14, 2019 at 15:42

@LPChip I should have mentioned that, I edited my original question.– PhilippeNov 14, 2019 at 15:45

Are you hosting this Vulnhub VM yourself or is it hosted elsewhere and are you trying to break in?– LPChipNov 14, 2019 at 15:48

On Linux :
cat $HOME/Library/VirtualBox/NatNetwork-Dhcpd.leases
On Windows :
%userprofile%\\.VirtualBox\HostInterfaceNetworking-VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter-Dhcpd.leases
This is the file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Leases version="1.0">
...
<Lease mac="08:00:27:45:fb:92" network="0.0.0.0" state="acked">
<Address value="10.0.2.15"/>
<Time issued="1594735097" expiration="600"/>
</Lease>
...
</Leases>
You can find the mac from vm with vboxmanage showvminfo smp318 | grep MAC
You can list running VM with vboxmanage list runningvms
