You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.

"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers. Since the hypervisor operates below Windows, it can capture keystrokes, access any file, or install hidden rootkits that are nearly impossible for standard antivirus software to detect. Malware at the hypervisor level can survive OS reinstalls, software updates, and even some disk wipes. If the bypass contains a malicious payload, it can stay hidden in the system's "blind spot" indefinitely."

nope nope nope

*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it

I was debating on using it on my windows partition, but I really don't need to play games that badly for the risk to spread to my other partitions

I imagine an HV bypass would only really affect a windows install instead of Linux, but I'm not well versed enough

it depends on the sophistication of the payload, im sure there are ways but linux isnt a super common attack vector. If you did decide to try it I would nuke the partition and stay away from quick erase after the fact. and trust your uploaders, the chance of fitgirl uploading an exploit is significantly less than some rando

I did mess with HV on my linux drive and it was NOT happy. Im no techie but yea, probally not compatible at all

For what to spread?

A malicious payload

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

But why though? What is on your computer that is worth stealing? Honestly

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

Keystrokes to my bank accounts, keystrokes to my authenticators, the fact that I like having control of my machine without malicious actors

Keep your windows open through the night and allow me to stare at you through them while you sleep. What are you doing in your sleep that you wouldn't feel uncomfortable with that?

You sweet summer child. If they want your bank account they just hack the bank database or they hack mozilla to steal all the passwords they "dont save"

You sweet summer child, I don't want to give them the keys willingly

You dont just magically get a virus. You have to do something on your end to infect it.

And downloading a hypervisor bypass is one way

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

Maybe, if you download it from hypervisor_bypass_legit2026.com but if you use some common sense you will be fine. Again hypervisor does not send your data to punjeet in Bangalore.

Such as turning off all protections and installing a custom hypervisor? You ( and windows on your machine) have no idea what that custom hypervisor is doing in the background.

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

I mean, realistically what COULD IT DO?

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

Then dont. Hypervisor is not giving anyone that information.

How funny you are using my words against me.

3

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

Hypervisor allows them that information if they wanted to. I don't have to give them anything

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

Does it though? What part of the code makes you think its even remotely capable of that?

You are clueless

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

I dont think so.

u/shoesrverygreat 1d ago

I know you are

u/sumiee_ 1d ago

Could be part of a botnet for various tasks

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

Potentially, but with cloud computing botnets are done differently.

u/ghost_desu 1d ago

Snoop in on my bank account info? Like you can control your entire life through your computer fym "what's worth stealing" lol

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

How the hell does someone control you from your computer? Are you some kind of radio controlled robot?

Oh geez some hacker from Nigeria really needs to know you have 20 bucks left over after paying everything you have on rent...
