Hey druaga1, can you put ms-dos on your rig (on the hard drive not in VMware) to see if it'll run on a core i7 with 16 gb ram?
First time posting here so not sure if this is the right place but I just had an idea for a VPN alterative to access regionally locked catalogues.
Many sites that restrict regional access block common VPS service providers IP addresse ranges.
However, I was wondering what would happen if one were to host a Virtual Machine on a Virtual Private Server and used that Virtual Machine to access regionally locked content. Would this work?
If not, any word on if they will anytime soon?
The inability to install virtual machines is what will stop me from buying the new MacBook.
i want to know how i can backup everything to Mega and will they be available when i run windows 11 on a Virtual Machine?
I set up 2 VMs. Linux and Windows 10.
I've always been interested in IT as a career. I want to do whatever I can to learn more about navigating a computer, so that hopefully I can pursue IT work.
Is having your personal data on the same physical machine as a publicly accessible web server too much of a security risk, even if proper security settings are used and they act as two separate machines? Also when backing up a web server, is it significantly more secure to have the NAS pull data from the server instead the server pushing data onto the NAS, so that the server doesn't have read/write access to the NAS?
I've tried looking this up but I can't find any conclusive answers as there seem to be several. I've already tried a bunch but nothing works. Can someone help, I have no idea how it works. I'm running the latest version of VirtualBox (idk exactly which) on my Windows 10. So far I've tried messing with network options as recommended but nothing is working.
I mean, say you create a Windows 10 VM. What do people usually do inside that? What do they use it for?
Edit: I have a few QNAP NASes that I spin Linux and Windows virtual machines and are online 24/7
This crossed my mind resently and I am unsure if this will help.
I'd imagine this has been brought up before, but why do anticheat programs actively scan and kick you when they even have the slightest thought that they're running in a Virtual Machine? I don't quite see the point here since what you can do in a VM can also be done on a physical machine without much effort.
I got a victim virtual machine running and I would like to do an sql injection and so on.
But how do I get the url of it? Running the victim brings up a bash terminal.
I understand that in a work environment, different types of servers doing specific tasks can be each a VM.
At my community college I was playing around with the computers to see some things.
All the computers are old Pentium D dell optiplexes that say xeon in window's computer properties. I assumed that it was a virtual machine and it was confirmed when I pressed ctrl+alt+delt and I got a little window in ubuntu font and colors. I held down ctrl+alt+F1 and got access to the terminal shell but that's ad far as I got.
It's obvious that it's a linux virtual machine setup but I only know of the vm setup where you need a separate gpu for each computer. This room has about 30 computers and they all have the same specs.
My question is what VM setup can let someone have a room of computers setup?
Let's say somebody installs a virus in my VM. Can this mess up anything outside the VM?
We recently migrated from a physical NAC/Netsight to XMC on a virtual machine hosted on nutanix. Since then we keep getting SNMP alerts for devices being down that aren't actually down. Extreme is basically saying Nutanix isn't support and it's most likely an issue with the CPU usage on the Nutanix host. Anybody familiar with this?
AFAICT it doesn't allow you to skip selecting what you're using in virt-manager, you have to type in the field it provides...
So I'm wanting to set up a mock workplace I can practice setting up users PC's with Windows/Linux , account management software, vpns, ect.
Just to really get the basics of how most workplaces are going to be set up and to show I'm capable of setting them up.
Is there any advantage to this? but almost every post about getting started people suggest using a VM but why not just dual boot?
I was recently experimenting with Azure Windows virtual machines, and noticed something strange: when you provision a virtual machine, you can configure your CPU, RAM, and SSD, but the graphics card seems to be missing. I always thought you need a graphics card to display what’s on your screen—could someone walk me through the specifics of how virtual machines stream your desktop to your computer?
Thanks!!
Let's say I have a multicore processor with three cache levels. On it, there is a hypervisor with two virtual machines running.
As I understood it the hypervisor kind of pretends to be a computer with smaller memory to each VM.
I also know that a cache is a faster and smaller type of memory, like RAM relates to the harddrive, but a cache can't be explicitly targeted by an application programmer. Does an operating system programmer handle cache accesses? Or is the cache behavior determined by a even lower level, like directly in hardware?
If the OS on one VM wants to write to the cache, does it tell the hypervisor "Hey I want to write to this specific line/address of my own virtual cache!"? A "virtual cache" sounds weird, because indirection is slow and caches are supposed to be fast. Also, when multiple VMs each have a dedicated space in the cache, these spaces would be rather small.
Therefore, maybe the VM doesn't concern itself with caches and just tells the hypervisor on which vitual adresses it wants to read and write and lets the hypervisor decide when and where to access a cache.
Probably I have misunderstood something about operating systems and it works differently altogether.
The background to this question is that I'm reading the paper "Flush & Reload" by Yarom and Falkner from 2014. They explain that the cache opens a side-channel, where information can leak from one process to another. They write that this also works for cross-VM attacks. I want to have a clearer understanding on how the caches of two VMs on the same host interact.
I would be grateful for even some pointers.
And what kind of wood or material do I need. What are typical size and inches depth for the wood. I am learning and want to attempt myself learning better. Are there good diagrams out the to build. Thank you!!
I have created an account at textnow and I managed to test call an irs scammer and then I disconnected.
I do have a vpn installed and I have a password set on my router ,but what else should I do to make sure the scammer can't get hold of any sensitive info?.
I am new to the art of scambaiting but I have been trying to set things up for a while including watching tutorials and downloading software such as voicechangers.
I've been wondering this lately. Take for instance Amazon Web Services. They offer virtual machines that have access to a GPU to accelerate certain workloads but what I'm not sure about is if the GPU is shared between multiple virtual machines or whether each virtual machine has its own dedicated GPU?
I know that when doing PCIe passthrough on a home computer you need a dedicated GPU but I wasn't sure if enterprise GPUs like the Nvidia Quadro or Nvidia Tesla supported sharing between multiple virtual machines?
If each virtual machine has to have its own dedicated GPU then I can understand why GPU virtual machines are so expensive.
So far I've been farming on and off for the past couple days... I've caught 1 water Mona and 1 fire Miho, and my phone is burning up. It's honestly a little upsetting lol
Do you guys run the game on VMs? That feels like the only viable way to play once you're farming and stuff.
edit: Use NOX emulator, it's great. load times are also decently faster than my phone (nexus 6p). there's some issues with NOX maybe (probably) being chinese spyware. fix below:

Was having a casual debate about operating systems with a mate the other night - pretty standard MacOS banter, with the LMR side coming from myself. He pointed out that he has an Arch VM, an Ubunutu one - and experiences all Linux has to offer, yet doesn't see a need for them beyond that. He argued he could achieve most of what I could from a VM.
My counter point was that one of the joys of Linux was having a truly efficient machine that you have tweaked to your hardware. In the past few years, I've found that this experience is becoming incredibly more streamlined. With just a little time investment, you can create an environment best suited to your situation. As such, by using a VM, you are really only get half the experience. I find virtual machines just don't seem to ever run smooth and just feel unoptimized.
To be clear, I'm in full agreement that VMs are a great tool and have their utility (even amidst the increasing role of containers); but what do you think? Would love to hear some discussion around these Qs in 2018.
- Aside from emulating OS exclusive software, what functional benefits do VMs have over containerization?
- Is it possible VM tech will/is get/ting better? I'd love to be able to run multiple operating systems simultaneously flawlessly.
- Can one really be LMR if you only use a VM? It seems impure.
I'm failed to boot (while being in VMware's UEFI bios mode) from 13.0-CUREENT ISO images provided by FreeBSD's FTP[1].
I've tried all three currently available r353709, r354057 and r354207 based ISOs, and r352544 based one, which I have on my local machine. I create new virtual machine (or use existing one) with EFI mode, load an ISO file into the machine's CD-drive and power it on (normally or on to firmware/BIOS and then select "Boot from CD device"). Beastie menu appears, I choose multi- or single-user, and after the following lines:
Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=...
...

``VMware Workstation'' shows a message box with the following error message: "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot."
The following lines appear in the virtual machine's log:

Just for note: I have an existing FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r351363 GENERIC virtual machine on that VMware physical host (installed from r351363 and never updated after that). This machine doesn't boot with the same error if its hardware compatibility level is set to "Workstation 15.x". It boots only with "Workstation 14.x" level. The new ISOs (ones I've enumerated above) don't boot at any compatibility level. And, yes unfortunately I don't know when this has started.
VMware Workstation on my host is 15.5. VMware ESXi 6.7 fails with the same error.
How can I debug/examine the source of that error? Does anyone got the same one?

EDIT: Write kernel version of the existing virtual machine.
