Hacking and Security / Re: VMs & their host

« on: March 04, 2015, 01:04:46 am »

Thanks for the information.

I ask my questions because I am trying to decide whether to "explore and learn" from a VM hosted on a machine I use for personal matters or whether to have a completely separate machine dedicated to this purpose.

Hacking and Security / VMs & their host

« on: March 03, 2015, 05:26:36 am »

Quick question about VMs

When a VM accesses the internet through the host what information about the host is exposed\revealed ?

What if the VM accesses the internet through a network interface by itself ( a USB wifi adaptor) ?

What about a VPN connection on the VM itself ?

What would be the best way to have a VM connect to the internet while exposing the host little as possible.

Sorry for all the question, and I greatly appreciate the help.

Hacking and Security / Seperate machines ?

I am trying to get into the strict discipline of keeping my personal shit separate from my infosec shenanigans.

Do you guys keep separate machines, do you guys enforce a strict seperation ?....

I'm torn about keeping and doing personal stuff on a machine that I would use for infosec research. Perhaps it's stupid Hollywood movie bullshit, but I would like some honest advice on this matter.

A best practice sort of guidance.
