Your 4) Even if I can't have both the Internet enabled and use malware within the VM at the same time, can that malware still "hop out" of the VM and attack my host computer?

Some malware can download exploit tools (metasploit, etc) then scan your internal hosts for vulnerabilities Your 3) Can my Dell XP tower also have the Internet enabled without the malware effecting my other computers? Maybe even flytrap from HB Gary (if still available)

Bios based malware is rare however to be on the safe side you could password protect your bios, or run something like " regshot" to track commands being performed. Why not just create and store a ghost image, analyze, restore your ghost image. Your 2) If I use a real computer to test malware on (I have a junky Dell XP tower kicking around), will formatting afterwords be enough? Where any and all outbound traffic go to a system (10.10.10.10/32) where on that machine you would run your network analysis tools (Wireshark, Netwitness). Optimally, you would want to create fake routes. If it tries to launch attacks from your machine, the fw rules would block it. This enables your system to ONLY talk to the malicious system. You -> create a BLOCK ALL fw rule, and then create an ALLOW MALICIOUS RULE Malware connects to malicious site -> get commands (here you get the address of malicious host) To do this properly, what you would need to do is watch the connections, immediate STOP the connections, validate your system is not making a maliciousĬonnection, then create an allow to malicious machine fw rule, while blocking other connections. The fix for this would be to insert a proxy between you and the rest of the world. For example, when dealing with a C&C based strain of malware you would never see any new droppers, or C&C base commands. On the one side of the equation, not having connectivity limits your results. You could set yourself up for huge liabilities. Suppose the malware you are analyzing is deisgned to immediately target say a bank or government machine. Your 1) Can I test malware in VirtualBox with access to the Internet within the VM without harming my host computer or any of the other computers on my network? I hope I explained this well enough for you guys.Īny and all help will be greatly appreciated.

If this helps, my host computer will either be a Mac running OS X 10.8.5, or a tower running XP (not my Dell one).Īnd the guest will be any OS, but mainly Windows (yes, from newest to oldest) If I can safely execute malware within a VM, what steps are necessary for keeping my real stuff safe? Will it also be necessary to mask my IP and MAC addresses so that they aren't logged and sent out to whoever could receive it while I'm doing the malware testing? Since I will also be 'pranking' some of those cliche Windows scammers (well, not really pranking, just testing ways that they can get in and do damage), would it be safe to use a VM, or can I even use that junky Dell of mine? If I use a real computer to test malware on (I have a junky Dell XP tower kicking around), will formatting afterwords be enough?Ĭan my Dell XP tower also have the Internet enabled without the malware effecting my other computers?Įven if I can't have both the Internet enabled and use malware within the VM at the same time, can that malware still "hop out" of the VM and attack my host computer? I've seen several people use virtual machines to test malware in (I've been using VirtualBox for a few years now) and I've contemplated on doing it too, but I fear that the malware might "leak out" of the VM and ruin my host computer and all of the computers on my network.Ĭan I test malware in VirtualBox with access to the Internet within the VM without harming my host computer or any of the other computers on my network?

I am trying to learn about malware and how it infects computers and how to disinfect a computer if one gets attacked. This question has probably been asked several times here, but I'll ask it a bit differently.
