[QUOTE="Solarquest, post: 232358, member: 25489"] I have an old Pc that I would use for malware testing (one day, when ready..). This will be the only computer/device that will be connected to the router (when testing) and to Internet. I'll have a security SW on the fully updated host and configure the network on the VM (vitualbox) with NAT. The firewall on the host will be Jetico or similar to block open ports with the VM (as this may happen with windows firewall). On the host I will run a VPN to hide the IP (I have a static IP ..). All datas will be cloned and a recue/boot disk will be handy. Is this a good/relatively safe solution to test malware/urls? What can be done to lower even more the risk of infectrion of the host? I know that testing thorugh a VM won't provide 100% accurate results since AV won't have all access needed to the system. How do protect/backup the host from Bootkits, from Malware that modify the MBR, bios? Do you know a program to back up the MBR and to protect the BIOS from changes? Sbabr is too old, correct? thank you! [/QUOTE]
