Can vmrun spread an infection to host comments?

Uneasy about this feature of backdoor where you can control the command-line host VM and even execute commands in the virtual machine.

Features exist that make possible an infection spreads comments to the hosts, if evil is given to vmrun or otherwise?

Can be used legitimately to intentionally move a file from the client to the host? How to transfer a file via the vmrun backdoor with the help of networking (IE if the network is disabled on the host)?

Hello

When a hacker gains access to your comments, then installs vmrun and there is no network connection between the client and the host then the pirate can not use vmrun as to operate a guest, he or she would have to use the option-h (host) that is based on a network connection.

You must also disable things like shared folders and disable the copy & paste from the shared clipboard.

If there is a network connection between the client and the host, and it has login/password of the host, then it is game over in any case.

  • Edit "Sync time with host comments" on several virtual machines by PowerCLI

    Hi people,

    In my vSphere Cluster (Version 5.1), I have about 70 virtual machines in a resource pool named 'RP_nonProd '.

    Now, I need activate 'Time of Sync with host comments' on all these VM in the pool of resources mentioned.

    I figured out, that with the following command:

    Get-ResourcePool | Where {$_.} Name - only 'resources'} | Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Name sort

    I am able to get a list of coma separated from all virtual machines in the resource pool. Unfortunately, I do not know what command allows me to change "Time of comments with the sync host" above PowerCLI.

    I know, that there is an object called "$spec.tools.syncTimeWithHost = $true" that you can configure for real, but I don't know, how to write a simple script with this function.

    So any help will be accepted with gratitude.

    Greetings

    Marc

    Try something like this

    $VMS = Get-VM -Location (Get-ResourcePool YourResourcePool)
    
    $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec $spec.Tools = New-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo $spec.Tools.syncTimeWithHost = $true
    $VMS | %{
      $_.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)

  • Can a name cookie webgate OAMAuthnCookie_ < host >: < port > _ < suffix > be configured?

    Hi all

    Can a name cookie webgate OAMAuthnCookie_ < host >: < port > _ < suffix > be configured?

    I came across the following document registration and management OAM 11 g Agents - 11 g Release 2 (11.1.2)

    I put UniqueCookieNames = disabled in settings defined by the user in the registration of 11g webgate.

    Copied files generated and restarted OSH.

    But it doesn't seem to work! always had cookie name OAMAuthnCookie_ < host >: < port > _ < suffix >.

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Kind regards

    Swaroop

    This setting works for me in an ECC and the DCC. After you have configured this setting I see host: port withdrew the name of OAMAuthnCookie.

    I hope that there are no fault of strike in the setting in your case.

    WebGate version at my end is 11.1.2.0.0 according to the OPatch

    Whats webgate version in your case?

    Log in as an administrator to change the hosts file in Mac OS.

    In a window of Finder, select go > go to folder.

    Type/etc

    Select the hosts file and open it with a text editor.

    Save the hosts file: Choose file > save as, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.

    Look for the original hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and remove these entries.

    Save and close to overwrite the file.

  • What brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. Before you increase the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external. It is to copy and paste the "C:\VirtualMachine\" folder in the hard disk external.

    I just bought an external hard drive that is "Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 3.0" and its software is "WD SmartWare". It seems that the software can back up the entire hard drive only. Alternatively, the backup files by selecting the types (music, photo, document, movies). But can not save a folder "C:\VirtualMachine\".

    So my question is: what brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

    These two questions do not apply if you have a virtual machine.

  • Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server

    Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server.

    The thing is that I don't have a 64 bit OS on my vCenter server and a new requirement was 64-bit DSN on the vCenter.

    So I want to install vSphere 4.1 on the hosts and vCenter 4.0 until a new server running is running.

    No, 4.1 hosts need a vCenter 4.1.

  • Can be completely protected from infecting your host PC if you are running in a virtual machine?

    I would like to know if you can run a virtual machine and keep the invincible host against malware. What are the best practices to configure such an environment? How to share data between the host and the virtual machines and still stay safe?

    Nope, it will be some protection for your host PC, but not a complete protection.  Many viruses can travel on a local network and infect "nearby" machines and your host would be a.  You must use the same computer security practices in a virtual machine as you would in a real machine.

  • Comments (Ubuntu) can not access the internet through host (XP)

    I used Google to find a solution as to why guest (Ubuntu) cannot access the internet. Host system is Windows XP. None of the solution has not worked for me. Solutions that worked for others: 1 activation NAT 2. Allowing the shared internet connection

    I think the problem is that my host and guest use different subnet masks default (respectively 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 vs) assigned by DHCP. The host's configuration manually to use the same subnet mask doesn't help either. I guess that I have it configured incorrectly.

    Welcome to the community,

    I think the problem is that my host and guest use different subnet masks default...

    Your configuration looks like, it has been changed manually! Default vmnet8 (NAT) on the host computer has an IP address like 192.168.x.1/24, comparable to vmnet1 (Host-Only). I suggest that restore you the configuration to its default settings that should work as expected.

    Try this:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2 disable UAC *.
    3 edit the file.
    4 turn on UAC.

    AFAIR you could also change with an admin account when starting mode safe.

  • How do you get server 'localhost' host comments?

    Hello world.

    I am a web developer and we use virtual machines to test changes in the websites.

    Currently, I am working on a win vista host with vm ware workstation installed v7.

    I configured a win XP Pro SP2 comments with XAMPP.

    I would like access to the host localhost comments.

    Host is connected to the internet through a gateway (eth).

    Comments is configured to access the network as bridged (reproducing the physical state of the network connection).

    I tried:

    1. pass comments IP ipconfig and go through the host. Not good

    2. the other settiong vm-network such as NAT or host-only. The same problem.

    3. I have guest access to host localhost, and I am also able to remotely connect through office comments.

    I'm sure this has been asked several times. However, I can't find a way to access the comment server.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Mike

    If the client is configured as bridged and basic network/Internet connectivity has still the host cannot access then check the firewall on the host and the guest.  Can ping each other addresses respective IP and if you can ping and then not reach XAMPP resources, consult the configuration (XAMPP).

  • Can configure the server from the host with IP address

    Hello

    I want to configure a guest computer with 2 network cards, one for LAN private and one for the external LAN.

    Right now, the problem is that I don't have that 1 useable public IP I can use on the external network address.

    Which means that it's either I configure the public ip address on the NIC host or on the comment card.

    May I just know set network bridge on the guest computer and configure the external static public IP, and then click map NETWORK address of the host machine, I set up the ip address. Will this work?

    Please notify.

    If you mean that by disabling TCP/IP on the host, the guest computer can access external WiFi?

    Yes, if you use a Windows host, just uncheck the TCP/IP on the bridged card.

    Or use NAT, then both machines can connect to the internet with a single IP.
