Would probably need to be written for it, I can see use cases of cross platform malware, given that it's often done under a VM, if you had a vm breakthrough exploit, it would be useful to also have a Linux side of the malware.
@@EricParker A VM breakout would be much tougher. Aren't VM breakouts are only theoretical at this point? Wine offers no sandboxing so a Linux-aware malware could really go to town. I'd love to rid my system of it but I need to run one business program that is Windows-only.
@@em7dim9 For the mostpart. There were a few examples, that were very limited in terms of literal VM escape, however a misconfigured network or sharing setup can make things easier.
@@EricParker A poorly-chosen shared folder or foolishly placing sensitive files in a VM with internet access are just misuse of a VM's valuable features. I would hope that researchers are not including these examples in a list of VM 'escapes'. Like you I'm interested in a program that can literally jump out.
@@aeth2kilos Above the OS's screen, there's those options (File, Help, etc) you see above an application's window. And if you read the window name (up the very top of the screen) you can see the title "Oracle VM VirtualBox" implying he's using VirtualBox. You're right.
I've never seen anyone try this, very interesting in my opinion!
Just for any future reference, the command for killing any wine executable is wineserver -k
Nice. Always wondered if WINE's symlinks to the linux folders were removed, if malware could be smart enough to find /home on its own.

After doing a bit of emulation on steam deck I wonder if I would be any safer from the fake links floating around becuase I was on Linux
Keep it up eric, love the vids!
Glad I got to wake up to a new eric Parker video!
I love your videos they're so interesting. keep it up!
Really curious as to what it’s done on the virtual windows file system
another good video to watch and enjoy
Very curious what happens on Wine 7, which can be gotten via Arch. It can even finally run Chromium!
Nice vid, bloody epic
Very interesting video
Fun fact: MEMZ was formerly called Memes
👍
Nice
Sick
Casually beating up virusses
10:15 made me jump ngl
why not try running memz?
That he did do multiple times. The popup works, and notepad didn't open.
Bruh did you do this on your personal computer?🤣
Pretty sure he did it in VirtualBox
