[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 984187, member: 38832"] Also if it wasn't the case, the VM vendors themselves wouldn't patch against it. With most major AV vendors and their professional researchers this knowledge is old. [SPOILER][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.csoonline.com/article/2933565/vmware-patches-virtual-machine-escape-issue-on-windows.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://threatpost.com/vmware-patches-vm-escape-vulnerability/121953/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.securityweek.com/vmware-patches-vulnerabilities-reported-researchers-chinese-government[/URL][/SPOILER] Even with a dedicated machine on it's own segmented network, one should always watch and control the Host for any possible infection signs. It's highly recommended to read up on this type of malicious behaviour and try to understand it better, before one actually start testing with real malware samples. [/QUOTE]
