Explode Malware Safely: Setting Up Your Flare-VM Lab

In this video, we're diving into how to create your very own malware quarantine zone. I'll guide you through the steps to safely test and analyze malware, ensuring you understand its capabilities without putting your own computer or network at risk. We'll start by setting up an isolated virtual environment using VirtualBox. I'll also show you how to connect it to the internet using pfSense, keeping your private network secure. Plus, we'll take a look at Remnux for those times when you really need to dig deep and find out what that suspicious code is up to. Join me, and let's get started on building your malware testing lab!

Some of the things you'll be able to do with your environment:

⌚ Witness first hand what happens when malware is run
⌚ Use Remnux to deep dive into the network activity caused by malware
⌚ Protect your network while giving internet access to malware
⌚ Easily move into malware courses while already having a lab configured
⌚ Be able to perform forensics on even seemingly legitimate software
