EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment - Next Generation) is a network emulation platform similar to GNS3 and Cisco Packet Tracer. However, the software itself is just a shell; the "images" are the operating systems (Cisco IOS, Palo Alto PAN-OS, Juniper JunOS, Fortinet FortiOS, etc.) that actually run inside it.

Download — EVE-NG Images

EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment — Next Generation) uses virtual machine images for network device vendors and appliances to build lab topologies. This write-up explains what EVE-NG images are, where to get them, legal and technical considerations, how to prepare and upload images, and tips for troubleshooting and optimization.

For ISO installs: create a VM and install OS, then convert the VM disk to QCOW2.
For vendor virtual appliances (OVA/OVA-like): extract the disk (VMDK) and convert to QCOW2 with qemu-img:
```
qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 source.vmdk destination.qcow2
```
For raw QCOW2: ensure correct backing file removal and compatibility with KVM.
