Can a virus spread from the virtual machine to host machine?

Malware vs virtualbox

[lifeen]

I'll be back with more vidz. I know its 2 years later, am still studying. I've noted your requests.

The reason MalwareBytes on your host machine is able to pick up these network requests is because VirtualBox just re-routes the internet connections from guest to host via NAT bridge. To MalwareBytes on host, it would appear as if VirtualBox is requesting these network connections. However you're still screwed if you have any shared folders that are active while these malware are infecting your computer.

downloading virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine makes me feel comfortable

I have never seen a text-to-speech youtuber with such great grammar!
Very informational video :)

It's possible for malware to infect the host if there's a bug in the hypervisor or your cpu's virtualisation extensions, howeverthese are very rare and I don't think I've ever seen one before.
You're more likely to be infect due to shared folders or havint the networking enabled on the VM

The temp folder CAN hold executables. Especially when using installers, because most time they are unzipping an executable inside them and in order to run them they need a file location so they get dropped into Temp. This can also happen for example when you copy an exe in WinRar, it will copy the exe to the real filesystem into Temp and then copies the path so CTRL+V can put the exe somewhere else

Kinda scary and informative because some of these things are happening on my computer so you may have just informed me of something I had no idea about😅

[Afif]

about malwarebytes blocking the "network" thing, it was because for your vm to be able to access internet, it need to go through your computer, through all of your firewall, which one of them is malwarebytes

Thank you so much for the video! I was searching about this topic a while ago and today I found your video in my recommendations page. Just what I was searching for. This video + reading the comment section has helped me a lot to understand. Greetings from a teacher :) (Systems&Networking is not my speciality but I use this tools with my students)

[LOLOX_HD]

I am so happy that I watch informative tech videos. This one especially. It taught me some things I didn't know about. So this is how hackers really get your pc to be a part of the botnet. This is really scary and now I will be even more careful than ever.

Our teacher at school made us download a linux iso to use within virtualbox. Now the .iso file was infected, starting a virtual machine with the .iso caused it to infect the entire pc and school network. Windows defender noticed but the damage was already done.

goes much deeper than videos on this topic, very interesting

If you get a advanced piece of malware that can go from virtual machine to host machine malware bytes isn't going to save you.

The quickest way for it to get through is having a share folder on the host (shows up as a drive in the vm) it can speedrun

Hello Lifeen, there is nothing to worry about. While using Vmware, your host cannot get infected. This is due, if you do not share clipboards or folders, or even your network, you will be safe. But it has small chance for infect. So thanks for this video. I am looking forward.

[marlarthan]

Thank You, you saved my computer. I was going to install vbox and then install windows and then Install a virus but when I watched this video I immediately knew the answer. Thank you

[NathanPriviated]

The crack background is amazing. Anyways you helped me with the cracked apps.

[ulfahnurhasanah]

Thanks sir, for so nice n so useful programs you are giving us God Almighty bless you n your family

[jovanito]

Is there a safe way to just turn off the VBox VM wifi while running the "virus"? Trying to test some files out

[Zaladeus]

This is one of my favourite videos to watch, I don’t know what it’s called but these kind of creepy viruses and Trojan’s website videos are so interesting. Amazing video 👍🏻
