What about a VM in Windows?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Honestly I know nothing about security, I just wanted to say a funny thing.

I think a VM would work for most cases? There are ways for Malware to escape from VMs.

Similar thing would probably be a consideration with a live media boot, as Malware could infect another OS on the machine.

Windows VM - even as hypervisor 1 - could leak any data. You need a revisited OS and kernel to be safe.

Edit: Once you accessed your network your firmware could possibly track everything as well. But nobody knows. Once I heard that the intel firmware has more LoC then the linux kernel (which is the most collaborated human project ever in existence).
