I didn't know about testing offline mode, i only know now because i want teach myself for clean up the system infected.
"Edit: disconnect the internet is for light virtualization systems like Shadow Defender because of data loss."So i need to turn off my internet to test random malwares?
The first objective is the safety of the tester and his data, but then everyone can decide how best to do.I didn't know about testing offline mode, i only know now because i want teach myself for clean up the system infected.
Not sure I have correctly understood, but also on multiboot systems, it is necessary to use a virtualized environment.Hi! are tests reliable if I test on a PC partition? (multiboot)
(no personal information on pc)
Not sure I have correctly understood, but also on multiboot systems, it is necessary to use a virtualized environment.
Even if you have no personal data on that system, but you have a another homework multiboot system, there is risk that a specific malware such as bootkits, or advanced rootkits can infect this system.
If the system is used only for testing then there is no problem, important is not to share personal data (due to error) with that system.I never use it, I use it only to try programs before deciding if it worth to install them on my "official" devices.
so even if the malware coul infect another partition (with another OS , linux or W ) I don't care. I can't installa a VM there, poor hardware
it's a netbook that still works

Depending on the malware yes, that's why it would be better to always use a VM in this context as well.sure, it is not even connected/share folders with other PCs.
anyway malwares could spread even on other partitions , even if there is a different OS in each partition? thank you
I suppose yes because I can move files
From Linux if the Linux malware can access the Windows files it can infect a file on that partition with that OS installation so you become infected on Windows when you use it, and vice versa. But the malware author would need to be knowledgeable on both Linux and Windows malware development to pull this off and it'd be tricky to do it correctly without mess up with a high chance of success.I suppose yes because I can move files

Yes it is enough turn off wifi if you have not connected also the network cable.thank you for your interest :as said before not connected with other devices in the network. no IoT in my home.
the router: well I did not think about that thank you
is it enough to turn off wifi?
restore: image of the disk or recovery partition
I would put that netbook in the junk otherwise
Mainly I do static malware analysis so the problem doesn't exist.you turn off the wifi too? what you do? a vpn?with a vpn it would not infect a router?
