[QUOTE="kC77, post: 984128, member: 92796"] malware that escapes the VM? please tell me where[B] i want it! please dm me an example[/B] joking aside, malware doesn't just "escape VM's" if you think this or have suffered this then [B]stop[/B] its like "how do virus's get on users computers".. usually one answer[B] Stupidity[/B] dont share the same network, dont share the same credentials... that is probably the main way. Also im sure some malware would potentially have default passwords for some routers......if you have a provided router with default creds... uh... I can forsee that some people just run a VM on their flat (non vlan'd) network WOW.... my number 1 rule is [B]dont[/B] do this. 1. run your VM on a dedicated VLAN isolated from any other network device 2. be sure you block access to the gateway 22/80/443 or whatever the port to your routers config url is from the "malware testing vlan" 3. dont use enhanced mode or share mapped drives/devices the disks your virtual machines run on are likely vhdx, be sure NOT to mount these inside your live machine apart from that if your network is isolated (properly) and your credentials are not in any way shared, and gateway access is blocked you should be good.
