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.
but would the maleware even be able to do anything on the host with those shared folders (other then copying itself into it/infecting files/delting/encrypting files in it?) Without some sort of serious security exploint in windows just having a malious file shouldn't do anything even if it's on a shared folder on the host. Actually infecting the host requires you to go to the shared folter on the host and start in yourself. Of course if windows or virtualbox has some kind of exploit that let's it run automatically your really screwed, but having a shared folder alone shoudn't be enough on it's own either, it needs some kind of exploit.
actually in a technical point of view, you are not, because access to shared folders doesnt mean the host will run these files at all. It would be dangerous only if you had some sort of startup script inside a shared folder, and the virus modified that startup script to get some sort of special acess, but that would require imbearable hacking skills to program a virus that would be smart to do so. most viruses are simple and direct.
@@TechHowYT i think this is fine because the malware cant write to it it can only read that data and any write requests the malware sends should error out, but it is best to have them completely disabled for safety.

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
I mean, it's much harder for a virus to get through a VM than through anti-virus software... I'm no specialist at information security, correct me if i'm wrong, please.
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

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.
You just have to disable all the features. There are scripts to make it easier. I remember when Enderman got his laptop almost killed as he started a virus on his XP machine and it went through the VMWare outside into his Windows 10 defender screaming.
Even if you turn off all shared stuff. It is possible to break out of the VM and escape the hypervisor (in this case VmBox) and access the host. Tho vmware and co regulary update their software to prevent such expliots. Check out BlackHat for more info.
The correct answer to this is it depends. But if a hypervisor 0day is present then the answer is yes a skilled and aware malware dev can escape the vm. Other methods can be shared directories as mentioned. Vuln software on your host machine if they vm is not on an isolated network. But also if you have a shared clipboard via methods like clipboard hijacking files.

around 9:50 when your host's Malwarebytes sends you an alert for blocked web traffic, I'm assuming this is simply because the Virtual Machine is piggybacking off of the host's network? And essentially there is nothing to worry about, it's just the network traffic inside the virtual machine being detected which does not affect the host? Only curious if you agree, I am a novice with this stuff.
@@lifeen i have SEP (Symantec Endpoint Protection) and i always wondered why am i getting pop-ups from antivirus when i am going to sites on VM. But now i know why 🙃
Nicely stated, PSY0PZ. The VM (or hypervisor) is just another process making requests and receiving responses which have to pass through the host's security protections. Of equal concern is that when requests leave the VM (without going through a VPN) - your actual IP Address (of your router) is now known. This will invite unwanted attention from BOTS looking for open ports or port forwarding weaknesses (RDP, etc., ) on your infrastructure.
@@d4sty. I fix it by running a VPN inside my VM. This allows me to use the VPN's servers to reach sites that I'm interested in connecting to with a different IP address and if required a different region. Your ISP will still see your IP address (of your router) and the VPN provider will too but the data you're sending and receiving is encrypted (within the VPN's tunnel). Your host (the physical computer running the VM) will not be able to unencrypt the data which means any anti-malware or anti-virus software running on the host will not be triggered.
15:54 delete all the stuff from temp. i heard that if your PC is slow, after closing all apps out, delete all files in Temp, as that is where some temporary files used in other apps are located
Actually the user account control is either saying its a verified publisher or a unknown publisher (most malware are unknown) asking administrator access and giving an option to say yes or no which you likely have if you own the pc
Very scary! Bravo to you good sir for being the testbed for our enjoyment! I think I’ll leave the virtual virus testing to more advanced folks…… for now lol
Moral of the story: be MEGA carful while testing computer viruses in your vm, be sure that you use a different connection in ur vm and use a Malwarebytes in youre man host pc for protection 😉 Surf safely 😊
You are likely not isolating your network adapter and your VM traffic is being passed through your PC and then out to your router-modem-internet. MBAM is picking it up once it makes it to your PC.

Imagine if you downloaded a malware on virtualbox and it was so dangerous and spread so much that it got to your actual computer... My god, that'd be absolutely terrifying.
Bruh, once malicious website downloaded viruses in my computer, but it downloaded antivirus too. Viruses were neutralised after restart. They were just opening random websites
1:46 if you got malwarbytes installed and working, then you've got it. those crack sites either give you malware or the real deal, next to never is the real thing packaged with malware. so no dont uninstall malwarebytes if you finished the installation
Tip for this delete files in temp folder like delete the temp folder its for like when u turn on ur pc for first time and u need to set it up but if it gets factory reseted then it will reinstall
Virtualbox has a few convenience features like shared clipboard and drag and dropping files. You can set it to off, from only guest to host, from only host to guest, and bidirectional. Are these potential attack vectors for malware to exploit? If i keep it set to host to guest only or off would it be safer? I rarely need to ever pull anything _out_ of the guest system anyways. Usually only ever use such features to drop files _into_ the guest that I need, such as executables for example.

I recall being remotely controlled by someone on the Internet, I was a silly kid that downloaded Munecraft forceop hacks and portforwarded to get my Minecraft server on the Internet
dude, malwarebytes will flag any crack websites because theres not a 100% chance theyre safe + binary patching and apps with bad signatures will flag on basically all av's
Not only that but, because they are hosting cracked/pirated software and distributing it which is in violation of the terms of service of most if not all software publishers and developers.
I havent watched the whole video, but i feel 100% sure already that the answer is yes, even though it would be hard as it would essentially require a sandbox escape from the VM.
No you can't. Triage by recorded future? That's a web app, runs on their server, just like any run, so what you see is just the interface. And also chrome has sandbox features like V8 sandbox, site isolation/ process isolation, enhanced safe browsing, site permissions. Maybe if you use a tool like shade or sandoxie, malware might break out(maybe)
Virus has to be coded in c++ ask request to connect direct hardware access instead of virtual. You can damage hardware to touch host software you need to know communication between virtual box to host machine os handle the request from virtual machine then. You can able to achieve possible it's really hard person should know os level programming and really good understanding of network
Soo your "real time protection browser testing" with websites blocked due to trojan is nothing to do with malewarebytes application and is entirely from the browser installed malewarebytes browser guard which is completely free to use and doesn't require a subscription or the desktop app from malewarebytes at all, which you should know as it isn't installed with the malewarebytes app and you manually added it to your browser. It even has the standard "browser guard" at the upper left which is as you can guess from the browser guard addon, if it was from the app it would say malewarebytes or malewarebytes premium. All this really means is browser guard did it faster but just something to note when saying it shows your desktop app blocking the sites :D
%99 of these antivirus cracks are malwares anyway, I tested one sample in my VM, it had an icon of man throwing trash to trash bin and it was just a downloader malware which downloaded tons of malwares to the device after execution.

3:20 i recieved a bunch of trojans that i downloaded. *proceeds to highlight everything on the desktop including the recycle bin* oh i didn't know recycle bin was a virus. time to delete it.
Would the Network spread be prevented by using a VPN on the Virtual Machine? I have a Mac and am looking to do a Virtual Machine of Windows/Linux/Home Assistant.

@Lifeen wow. With NAT, it is still possible to spread to host machine !
Can you please recommend me a malware family which works in VM environment, performs network activity but not spread on host machine ?
Is it possible ?
I want to capture the network traffic of this infected machine.
someone of them are probably arent running cus its a vm as some are built to detect if its a vm
I recall being remotely controlled by someone on the Internet, I was a silly kid that downloaded Munecraft forceop hacks and portforwarded to get my Minecraft server on the Internet
What if you open virtual box in virtual box and install viruses on virtual box on that virtual box?
🤣🤣
yes it can, it is called a virtual machine bypass or something i forgot
More please! Hope you get to 1k subs!
dude, malwarebytes will flag any crack websites because theres not a 100% chance theyre safe + binary patching and apps with bad signatures will flag on basically all av's
Not only that but, because they are hosting cracked/pirated software and distributing it which is in violation of the terms of service of most if not all software publishers and developers.
If you turn on the internet while any virus is activated and running then it'll spread through out the devices that are connected to the same Internet
you fr? joel alrd installed viruses in 2014 just like this just to destroy the pc and it was running in a simulation like virtual machine
btw to not get infected, Turn off network adpater, erase clipboard, VM Wifi then it will have 1% of spreading into host PC
way less than 1%.
very informative ! I'll watch my back and try software on a VM now :) (I did when I was suspicous but you know ; never trust computers)
I havent watched the whole video, but i feel 100% sure already that the answer is yes, even though it would be hard as it would essentially require a sandbox escape from the VM.
Iv'e been wondering if that also would happened if a virtual machine was in a virtual machine and so on and so on
Thank You Very Much I Really Plan On Being An Upcoming Producer??
Bitdefender plus malwarebytes plus kaspersky = god trio
what if i do an Virtual Machine on a virtual Machine.
?
If you use something like triage, can it still infect the host system? Also, nice educational video :)
No you can't. Triage by recorded future? That's a web app, runs on their server, just like any run, so what you see is just the interface. And also chrome has sandbox features like V8 sandbox, site isolation/ process isolation, enhanced safe browsing, site permissions. Maybe if you use a tool like shade or sandoxie, malware might break out(maybe)
People's been saying that virus protection has been killing people's computer Even my best friend said that and he's smart
Virus has to be coded in c++ ask request to connect direct hardware access instead of virtual. You can damage hardware to touch host software you need to know communication between virtual box to host machine os handle the request from virtual machine then. You can able to achieve possible it's really hard person should know os level programming and really good understanding of network
No
Unless intel\AMD (or your CPU manufacturer) screws up very badly, no.
At some point I think it dose because original file store in host pc
Am i safe to use my microsoft account for the windows operating system?
Soo your "real time protection browser testing" with websites blocked due to trojan is nothing to do with malewarebytes application and is entirely from the browser installed malewarebytes browser guard which is completely free to use and doesn't require a subscription or the desktop app from malewarebytes at all, which you should know as it isn't installed with the malewarebytes app and you manually added it to your browser. It even has the standard "browser guard" at the upper left which is as you can guess from the browser guard addon, if it was from the app it would say malewarebytes or malewarebytes premium. All this really means is browser guard did it faster but just something to note when saying it shows your desktop app blocking the sites :D
Very good video, though Id like to see you voiceover/speak live instead of doing TTS, it would be more comfortable to watch
>malwarebytes blocking links to cracks of their premium software
YOU'D THINK SO RIGHT?
%99 of these antivirus cracks are malwares anyway, I tested one sample in my VM, it had an icon of man throwing trash to trash bin and it was just a downloader malware which downloaded tons of malwares to the device after execution. Most of the cracks of antiviruses uses this type of malware for some reason.
If, for example, you have Linux, and Windows is installed in Virtual Box, then there is probably no chance of getting something
i think you should be fine if you have networking and shared folders disabled.
Great video and very useful. Hope you could monetize it!
3:20 i recieved a bunch of trojans that i downloaded.
*proceeds to highlight everything on the desktop including the recycle bin*
oh i didn't know recycle bin was a virus.
time to delete it.
Would the Network spread be prevented by using a VPN on the Virtual Machine? I have a Mac and am looking to do a Virtual Machine of Windows/Linux/Home Assistant.
i love how u explain everything, likes for u 👍
So its safe to run viruses on Vbox right?
What Windows Defender says about all that?
So now I know why Mint virtual machines have little issue with shared folders, while Mac virtual machines are a nightmare to enable. Mint has very few viruses. Even Macs are more virus-prone!
i feel like my computer is boutta get that virus lol
