[QUOTE="HeffeD, post: 66890, member: 61"] I already figured it was you because the line of questioning was so very similar. :) No. But if you do [url=http://blog.zeltser.com/post/8978449246/vmware-network-isolation-for-malware-analysis]this[/url], you'll be much closer. (But still impossible to put a percentage value on your security) I'm not as crotchety as some of the users you encountered when asking this on the VMWare forum, but I agree with them somewhat, and I'm definitely not going to tell you you'll be fine testing malware.
