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.
@@lilwoodiewood3457 Either use your AV's exclusions list, or switch to an AV like Kaspersky, BitDefender, or ESET that doesn't have so many false positives.
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.
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.
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.
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 am willing to visit every single malware and dodgy site in the universe. I've been fighting Google, whilst keeping the internet from failing all together. Not quite blacklist the world, but close enough. Anyone ever try to Geoblock China? It does weird things to internet traffic lol.
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!
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!
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.
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.
What I dont understand about ransomware is that at some point, you have to convert that into actual, usable currency, and it is at that point that your name will be attached to it and governments will come find you. So it just dont make sense.
FYI, Zemana as a company is completely dead. Their software has not been updated in years, and their support email does not exist anymore. Though, not using Zemana products does nothing to protect you from their vulnerable software...
Awesome video! Thanks for posting! Would it be possible to do a browser user agent "spoof" test to see if changing your browser agent has much of an impact on malware installed via browser? Thanks again for posting!
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
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 come the ransomware didn't change all the malware packages to .knight? And if they did somehow copy everything that quickly, would they now also have the malware folder?
Need your help. I came across a malware which try to download itself in a chrome. So there was site, which opened a new tab and then next thing i saw that it was trying to save some php. How can malware automatically save itself from a site and how to protect from it?
Man thanks for the content, it's always interesting and cool. But i have a problem: if i scan the sistem with my av (eset) it says to me that there is a potential threat and it's a variant of UEFI/CompuTrace.A (a file i think) in the firmware. can you tell me how to fix this? i tried to eliminate the file i but i can't "find" it (sorry for my bad english, i'm italian).
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
Simple answer: no. However, it is possible in general the same as with any website due to A. A Twitter impersonator site or B. Twitter’s own website is compromised. An actual stream of video/audio data is not executed as instructions and is only ever interpreted as data.
2:15 yes you need download and install or launch them to work. same as install malware on phone you need install and give all permission to anything work. dont do it. you not need that texteditor that want all permission LOL. you not need any permission anyways its all designed wrong. only permission to that file you open NOT all on gallery. right. easy fix all proglem lol lol
ok so my asus laptop got this message back then, and what happened is it just fucked up my laptop, I can't believe it was malware, it bypassed my windows defender? and yes that laptop is now extinct and I'm just taking my files from it's hdd (which I am also scared because it can infect my new laptop)
Hi @pcsecuritychannel I rarely leave comments on videos but I had a question on why u use or prefer windows over any Linux distribution,, especially knowing that windows has the bloatware, telemetry and most apps being proprietary?
How does a malicious website infect a computer? Can you get infected just by visiting it? Also, if you downloaded a malicious file but didn't open it, would it infect your PC? For both questions, imagine that you don't have an antivirus. Thank you.
Your pages run sandboxed and this is why not you whole broswer goes down when somezhing goes wrong on a pgae so no you cant get infected by just visiting a site. Downloading a malware still fine till you open it.
@@furdiburd though to add to this, there are no user interactions download "exploits" (if can they be called that) that still leaves the malware samples in your downloads directory which is a single double click away from trouble (worse if it's ofuscated like showing it to be a pdf but instead it's a scr(een saver) file (which runs code the same as a .exe))
My guess is the major source of malware comes from college students and unscrupulous developers of anti-virus software trying to increase their product sales.
Ok i don't understand the purpose of these tests, you said yourself, not even Windows Defender is enabled. So that's not realistic because most of people doesn't trust any Antivirus and believes they have Windows Defender so Windows will protect them. So i'd like to see the exact same thing but with Windows Defender enabled and see what happens.
Sadly that ransom note with the average $18k/month average salary per employee, could be more accurate than you think, due to the insane pay gap between most top level management and executives and the lowest paid front line workers. 😢😢😢

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.
True same with a basic Debian distro (maybe Mint) out of the box would be very nice to see
You should have run it again while windows defender is ON, to see how it can preform against latest malwares.
Noneless good video
I would like to see this become a series against anti-virus programs, or will they automatically block anything from the open source database?
That was fun :) Do this regularly. It could be valuable if you happen to find something cutting edge by accident

Can you make a video on how to decrypt ransomware?
Where do you get your malware samples from, if I might ask?
Love your videos man!
Questions: what happens if you *don’t* have Windows Defender nor any antivirus at all? Is there anything at all stopping malwares?
Great experiment. Are any malware evolving to detect and overcome the limitations of virtual environments?
Is it impossible for the malware to effect your base system when running it on a virtual machine?
Sometimes malware can escape from a VM, but it's uncommon as far as I've heard

Tip: when testing viruses, u should probably turn off your Internet from the vm because the viruses might be worms and can spread through your network
Don't most VM's use separate ip's and connect to different networks rather than using your home network?
@ShadowOfXlife sometimes the virus might try getting into the wifi network
