[@colinscarbro1975]

Good stuff. This helps me at my level of IT support/knowledge. Your content helps me understand malware activity and the tools I can use. FYI. Understanding how malware works has helped me stop a network enabled ransomware in our business. It escaped AV and encrypted 1000s of files but was manually stopped because I had some understanding of the nature of the attack. We had good backups so two fingers at the authors. Thank you for your content.

[@CoolJosh3k]

I would like to see how common this is for Linux and Mac computers, vs how many for Windows only. While it only takes 1 malicious process to be running, I still find it shows a general risk factor.

[@falloutboy286]

Now I'm curious if any of the modern malware and viruses would work on older Windows versions, say Win7, XP and 98. Also I'd be interested in seeing this done for Mac OS, Android and Linux. I mean I think Windows programs are going to need a compatibility layer to run on Linux and Mac OS but I'd be curious about how much trouble you could get into if such a thing was installed on a non Windows system.

[@lorencalfe6446]

malware authors usually just cobble together poorly conceived bs and hope for the best, or they are terminally online on the garbage dark web ui refreshing the page for vulnerability exploits, which they copy and paste on their trash software. most hackers arent smart. They are just script kiddies who need to reinstall their os every month or so. The companies and government especially police are just incredibly inept seemingly 70-80 iq on average.. Also white hats are huge simps for black hats/ criminals. Red hats are effective but too rare to make a dent in the cybermoron sorry ‘black hat’ population.

[@lorencalfe6446]

The answer is the companies are so inept that only a moron needs to make malware to get into a macos. Most malware cannot work on mac because of how the system works. The sandboxing and restrictions on functions cripples malicious software. However even apple is hopping on the idiot band wagon and adding a bunch of idiotic features that the legitimate user would never use. The reason computers get hacked is because of pointless functions that seem to only be made for hackers.

I tried running various viruses and mallard on my Dell windows xp laptop, and a lot of it couldn't execute. Or some were stopped by my AV

[@electricspider2267]

It may have just been a prank-virus that shuts pc down. When i was in school, i (almost) got in trouble for making one of those because the previous guy didnt log out. I wanted to prank him for the lulz. Made a tiny script, and replaced the iexplorer shortcut. My teacher was pretty cool about it and just took me from my class to remove it. God i loved that teacher!

[@PinkAgaricus]

I wonder if the price of the ransomware is targeting executives (top of the company), not grunt (normal) employees. It's basically targeting executives (judging by the nearly 18 grand a month) without telling us they're targeting execs.

[@shurmurray]

A bit of an offtopic: i'd like to watch some kind of tutorial how can you detect or even clean *some* malware from a win10/11 machine when there is no antivirus available nor any specialised tools. Just using bare windows and standart programms what is possible to do? (there was a number of situations in my life when it was needed). Thanks!

[@brunoruiztalamo3692]

So, in that case you can hack your computer back and inject and force the execution of the program “Tron”. It searchs, kills all malware and may take hours but it’s 100% effective to this day. Bad thing is your cookies and temporary files will be erased no matter what.

[@harmonbrentdm]

Now you should do a video on what Malware removing program will work on a infected malware machine.

[@dkat1108]

Watching this I immediately said to myself time to make a full backup....LOL

[@Kevllarr]

Might be a bit hard to do, but would be interesting to see some MacOS stuff since a lot of users nowadays use Macs. But getting MacOS on a virtual machine might be a bit hard haha

[@furdiburd]

Pov linux: lemme plug in my usb and fire up a live OS

[@chri-k]

It’s not hard, but you do need to spend some more time with the configuration since most VM software isn’t designed with running macOS in mind.

[@Your_Local_Weirdo75]

That would be pretty interesting

[@Kevllarr]

Yeah that's fair, good to know it's possible. I just thought, knowing what Apple is like, they've probably made it really hard to run Ventura for example on other stuff that's not their own M1 or M2 machines. But yeah, would be interesting to see how bullet proof MacOS is. I know in the past at least there seemed to be an attitude towards that Mac is a bit more secure than Windows. But because a lot of people use Macs nowadays, could be interesting.

How big do viruses actually have to be to do damage (word file size or MB game mod size)?

Viruses dont have to big at all, a lot of them try to hide their virus status by being a file that is jist barely big enough so the scanner doesnt bother with it or too big to upload to virustotal, however theres plenty of scary scripts that basically are made of small parts that download the rest of the virus to complete itself so it can escape detection from scanners
