Virus zoo lets you experience a live virus in a secure virtual environment...

Hi malware fighters,

Like to experience what a live virus does to an OS and how it is infested, then you can now go to the VirusZoo. This Zoo is a funny and secure environment to play around with various sorts of malware and malcode in a virtual environment. The server will run Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard), wile the virtual environment offers a Windows XP environment.

If the user opens a virus in the VirusZoo opent, this only runs in a virtual environment. The virtual machine will be turned back to its original state every night, wile the webserver is scanned for malware every day. “Look at it as a virus aquarium in de cloud!” There are some 66.000 viruses in the database to play with, but some do not function fully. VirusZoo is still in bèta… go there: http://www.viruszoo.com/

Interesting but I’m not that curious. :slight_smile:

Looks pretty cool, might help AV companies test their products… who knows?

I somehow think that AV companies have a better resource for this.

I want to try but Im way too scared to enter the site…

Would someone please confirm the status of the site?

Thanks in advance^^
