If you're in a public wi-fi or public network where everyone connected to the same network, it's good and better if we keep this network inside a NAT since this OS was vulnerable. Otherwise you can make it accessible so it can accessed by your attacker machine.

2. The first run after you install this exploitable OS, you can give a try to run your NMAP or Metasploit Framework or Armitage.
