Question about HyperV
Question about HyperV
It’s likely a straightforward concern, but... Running those VMs in HyperV with minimal services could pose risks. Since the VM is offline and hasn’t been updated, there might be vulnerabilities still present. If it interacts with your PC or the internet, it could expose your system to threats. Even though you think it’s patched, outdated components can leave gaps. Be cautious and consider isolating it if possible.
Yes, unless you got a seperate NIC for your vSwitch there is a direct network connection to your hyper-visor. There are also tricks to escape to the hyper-visior even without a network connection. Putting that thing on the internet is endangering other people. Worst case scenario: your malware infested f-fest is used to attack critical infrastructure and people actually die as a result of it. Nuke it.
