How safe is a virtual machine
Hey,
Im experimenting with kali linux in VirtualBox. I lile to study the different programms and techniques of pentesting in my own environment with set up servers and pcs etc.
I also stumbled over the tor browser and decided to discover whats in the deep web and even in the dark web since i heard this is a much bigger part of the internet. Since im not planning to download any malware or anything else while im in the deepweb im thought it would make sense to also inform myself about the dangers for my whole system.
How vulnerable is my laptop if anything happens to my virtual kali system (if it gets hacked or so) can a good hacker also break out of the virtual box or is this not possible. What other dangers are there when using your private laptop.
I read on the tornewssite that a whole other laptop is better. Is this necessarily true?
Thanks in advance
