I have found some software on 1337 that a friend was asking for. It’s for Windows and I’m on Linux. Is test running the software inside a VM the only way to securely vet it (to see what connections it tries to make and what processes it starts)? On VirusTotal, I get one positive and 66 negatives. Preferably, I’d like to hand over the software without worrying about giving them malicious code…
Stupid question, but why can’t your friend not just run it in sandboxie with internet locked down?
No noticeable performance drain, can’t cause too much damage.
Or isn’t this enough?
Absolutely NOT a stupid question! 😊 They are not very tech savvy 🥺
