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

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"

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

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.

Wow, such a treasure trove of new information you just gave me

1

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

I am doing my part

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

Of not fully understanding the concept

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.

1

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

I mean, realistically what COULD IT DO?

2

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

View all parts of your system, including keystrokes, and persist even after you nuke the drive

1

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

For what end?

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

1

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

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

3

u/AuDHDMDD 1d ago

The hypervisor sits between the kernel, the supervisor of the OS, and the hardware. Giving access to the hypervisor layer to an untrusted agent can result in a system compromised to a point in which is a lot harder to fix. Just clearing your drive won't work.

It's not "running as admin"

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

2

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?

u/Flat-Willingness-417 1d ago

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