@CySecy825:

No need to mess the network configuration of Virtualbox, since its been set to NAT which means the IP address as been separate to your host so any infections especially worms will not jump out.

For shared folder, click the gear icon of settings (from selected machine you've produced) then click the folder you want to mount on.

Use a VPN like Cyberghost/BETTERNET if u want to spoof the IP and to Spoof MAC address generate any fake mac add using VM or Technitium MAC Address Changer | A Freeware Utility To Spoof MAC Address Instantly
and do remember do not load any of the personal files in VM that u don't want to risk!!!

regards
ok i will never store any personal files in VM ofcourse, my VM where i testing malwares is fresh installed window 10

and this VPN i will start using it now,but what is this setting from VirtualBox network settings NAT?

Thanks

@CySecy825: NAT is a type of network mechanism where creates an isolated IP address to your VM, which means it will not affect your host system with any threats especially worms.

Only shares your active connection through your host system.

If you don 't know what you are doing when it comes to malware testing don't do it. It's great for yourself to learn but I think it's best to watch videos first on YouTube before you go ahead and get into it. Heck that's what I did at first. Watched MrXidus and many other YouTuber's that made videos on malware testing. Then once I deemed myself confident I then went ahead and started.
