An is without any security concept whatsoever shouldn't have been on the Internet even in 1998
Next video: what if you expose an IPhone to Android
Hi
What's next? Exposing DoS to internet? Haha
Surprised anything could run
You may get better results using 86box or pcem for Windows 9x and dos, as they emulate more era appropriate hardware.
Wind 3.11 and NT3.51 and NT4 all interesting. In the early 2000s running WinNT 4 took mere minutes to get hacked.
“This operating system is older than I am”
Me: oh no 👨🏻🦳
@1:17 you could install it into a different folder if you wanted to break 70% of all software out there. At one point I had a system without a C: – so much stuff just broke…
In the early 2000s I found thousands of Win98 machines that were directly exposed to the internet without a router or firewall. I was scanning the IP range of my local ISP for port 139 and found a lot of hosts that could be accessed via Windows Explorer (not IE). I could mount remote partitions (incl. drive c with full access), I could even send data to their printers. In a nutshell….it was fun, a lot of fun.
Then more people used XP and routers. My script-kid-hacking-skills were no longer working.
You are testing and exposing win 98 the wrong way because first of all you are NOT suppose to use virtual box and you are suppose to install win 98 on a normal hard drive and install and configure the network settings and connect it directly to your home router and connect to the internet ——- that’s the TRUE way of exposing win 98 to the internet without any bells and whistles !!!!!!!!
Ironically, you'd be unlikely to get a virus, since even if you downloaded one, it wouldn't be able to run on 9x! 🤣
I have never been able to successfully install windows 98
Try windows Nt 3.51 next
so, does Win 95 automatically try to talk to the internet? …was Amazon around back in '95 or was this simply Doc Emerson's machine? …how is Amazon connected to IT? …is it literally on a PUBLIC IP?
Can you please do a video with Vista SP2?
I get the message, we should all switch to windows 98 to stay safe on the internet.
hello ia m typing this from a raspberry pi running Chrome(ium)OS
internet infected with success
You actually did it!
Hey bro, good to see this video got some views, I hope more people find your channel. It's pretty cool!
My genuine response to the title of the video : it gets traumatized
i assume you have an isolated network with all ports open, how would you go about setting something like this up?
Do a aWindows 2000 pre sp4 with iis . It will last 2 seconds
This was unexpected… No exploit worked 'cause they couldn't run on 98.
Vista next? I like these videos
You should see if the Windows 7 VM got infected by anything that escaped the 98 VM!
1:30 "My Compute" does not compute!
