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.

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 9 ай бұрын

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 9 ай бұрын

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.

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.
