  • Does a torrented non-zipped folder mean anything bad?

    Jump

  • Are there things that can be undetected/hidden from system explorer - where you'd have to use terminal/powershell to view that it exists (hidden malware)?

  • Do you know of any guides to set up Hyper-V for this type of purpose? I want it to be as secure as can be: "disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, etc."

  • If it detects that it is in a VM and doesn't activate the malware, then I'm perfectly okay just using the software inside the VM.

  • thank you for the in depth responses. Do you know if it is follish to keep internet on my host when I have the VM have no network connections, or is it highly recommended to kill the internet for both host and VM?

    How to put a file into a VM without a malware breach?

  • Thank you for the info, and for the encouragement. Yeah I am definitely going to try using a VM to diagnose the files more closely. To confirm, is a VM, (such as Hyper-V) similar to Windows Sandbox, where it effectively resets itself (new slate) each time you open it? Or can I install the torrented files in the VM and still access it if I close and reopen the VM in the future?

    Also, which VM would you suggest? I apologize for appending so many questions to my original post.

  • Would you trust it if the detection is 0, but there are network connections? (contacted domains and contacted IP addresses)

  • If I use the VM with no network connections, is there any way for me to manually find malware hidden in the files? I'm not really sure what to look for specifically. I definitely want to try using a VM to more closely inspect the files

  • Thank you for the detailed response. Just to confirm, is Hyper-V your sandbox VM? I used ESET to scan the files I torrented, but they look very suspicious from virustotal, but I don't really know how to parse the info - knowing if it is a false positive/etc.

  • Hey thank you for the info. Which VM do you use? How do you disable the various types of sharing with the host? Also, how do you validate? Sorry for all the questions, but that seems like it may be my only option

  • How to validate a large torrented file is clean?

  • Oh okay, thanks. I don't know how it compares with Eset for example. My antivirus said the files were clean, but the virustotal results are really sketchy.

  • I mean yeah that makes sense, but I don't know enough about torrenting (nor tech in general) to know if something is safe/trustworthy sadly.. I feel like I'm probably better off spending several hundreds on a subscription, than more likely than not be hacked/get advanced spyware. I doubt they wouldn't prey on dumb people like me if it is easy. If I was more knowledgeable it would probably be possible to manually remove infected bits of a torrented file to make it work, but idk.

  • Thank you for the advice. Is clamav just another antivirus software?

  • I ran my antivirus on the plugins.zip folder and it didn't detect anything. Then I ran it on the master collection folder, and it also didn't detect anything, but it suspiciously finished almost immediately although it does only contain the iso (37.5GB), .info file (2.46KB), .sha (85B), .md5 (77B), so I'm not sure. Also, I just posted the virustotal results in this thread.

  • How would I know if there was hidden spyware/malware if I ran it in a VM? (if they are smart they try to be undetected)
