cryogenspiriton Cyberattacks in 12 Nations Said to Use Leaked N.S.A. Hacking Tool

Hello. Thanks for this. This is very close to what I was looking for. Security is a long journey, but it seems we can't avoid the task any more.

Hopefully we will find a way to be connected but not vulnerable to all these threats.

Thanks. Had a brief look, seems useful.

Does the VM using the "nat" mode of networking also use Windows routing table? I don't know much about the networking between guest and host, except that the guest uses NetworkManager through its ethernet device. Even though this is a virtual device, I didn't think it would go through Windows' own net stack.

Would the bridged networking be any different than passing through the USB wifi adapter directly to VMware? (at which point the host doesn't have access to internet)

The above link seems pretty good for locking down Windows if anyone is looking.

Q: does anyone know how to disable regular internet access in Windows except through a virtual machine (VMware or Virtualbox)?

I have set up my mom to use a live debian cd through VMware, but I would also like to disable networking through Windows Edge and Explorer. I don't know how to do this however.

Myself, I follow a similar scheme but using a linux virtual guest and host. Is it easy to disable networking for all networking except for apt/yum and vmware/kvm?

Lastly, does anyone know what it costs for a personal subscription to grsecurity?
