I'm pretty sure it'll last forever because no modern malware works on Windows 98.

i'll givit treefiddy

goddamn this thing is fragile

oh the nostalgia

>>20746712
Fun part is that it'll still take a hour to set up even on modern hardware.

>>20746730

I remember the second part of the setup filled with lies about the operating system.

anyone remember what version of directx it has?

>>20746798

It doesn't

>>20746798

I think it comes with 5 or 6 preinstalled. You can up to version 8 I think.

>>20746820

8.1b

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3943

>crashes during OS installation are normal, just restart and try again
oh boy

Until China stops using it. so at least another 5 years

>>20746865

You'll be fine, assuming you're installing it as a virtual operating system, which looks pretty damn obvious to me.


Are you just installing it for the nostalgia or something?

>>20746931
Yeah. I'll try visiting some shady porn sites and click "Yes" on every pop-up and see what happens.

>>20746947

You know virtual machines aren't safe sandboxes right? That all the hypervisors and virtual machine monitors are plagued with guest-to-host vulnerabilities...

>>20746990
If you know of any, why aren't you selling them? And what makes you think someone would waste a 0day on shitty malware?

>>20746990
If I run across something that breaks out of a win98 VM and executes on Gentoo, I'll happily eat my hat

>>20746990

If you were using a real OS as the host, you'd find most of those supposed issues disappear.

>>20747050
>>20747062

Bullshit.

The virtual machine hook is probably running a module on your kernel. KVM, VMWare and Virtualbox does. Xen as the hyperivisor. All of them have godmode access to your hardware and OS.

Most common attachs revolve around reading or inserting data on the host's memory, which can affect both the host and the other operating systems running on that host.

>>20747118
Show an attack that works in patched software then.

>>20747118

Doesn't matter if you are running a real or toy OS. The monitor or hypervisor have too much access to the system to avoid a disaster.

Best alternative would be running something like UserMode Linux or Qemu with limited user access.

>>20747141

Better yet. Take a good time reading this paper: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/reference/Virtual_Machine_Threats.pdf

>>20747175
>Finally, the most interesting attack that malicious code can
>perform against a virtual machine emulator is to escape from
>its protected environment. No examples of this type of attack
>are presented in this paper.
It only goes into detection methods. There's no publicly known unpatched escape attacks. Of course, things like shared folders are only as secure as the guest OS.

(Also I'd appreciate it if 4chan stopped eating my posts.)

>>20747253


Yeap. But I think it doesn't matter if it is unpatched or not. OP clearly wants to infect the machine with malware just to see what happens. It may be bad idea to do so while running a virtual machine monitor with full access to the Linux kernel and hardware.

What kind of monitor or hypervisor OP is using anyway?

>>20747253

>all the hypervisors and virtual machine monitors are plagued with guest-to-host vulnerabilities...
>There's no publicly known unpatched escape attacks

So which is it?

>>20746798
You could get up to DirectX 9.0c installed iirc. I used to have an install disk that had it slipstreamed in somewhere.

>>20747317
Until someone demonstrates an actual exploit working in patched software, it's the latter. Keep in mind that the linked paper is a few years old.

>>20747315
That's true, but still, people would pay serious money for an escape exploit. You're not going to find one on the public internet.

>>20747315
It's virtualbox on linux

I forgot about all this bloatware microsoft put on here. Running IE for the first time brings up this helpful window.

>>20747576

> you will need to install a modem before continuing

Ethernet card wasn't detected? You'll probably will have to executa that internet connection wizard.

>>20747613
You have to put the MSN shortcut on the desktop in the trash, then the net connection wizard runs when you launch IE. I administered over a hundred of these boxes back in the day, I'm a little rust but I can still muddle my way through. I still had the license key memorized, I had to read the first 5 digits and then the rest came back.

>msn website, how do I css?

>>20747669

Me too. Remember poledit.exe?

>>20747688
Don't fucking remind me.

off to stileproject.com, which link first, "Fuck two bitches a day" or penis enlargement?

Better site suggestions welcome

>>20747767

Good old astalavista.box.sk still exists? I'm scared to death of that website.

could be dead already, had a page fault and seems pretty unstable already

>>20747767
Go to crack/serial sites, download garbage. Just type something into Google.

Here you go.

Start visiting links from here.

http://amada.abuse.ch/recent.php

is this a fake cert, or is IE6's cert authority information uselessly out of date?

>>20747940

Probably the included root certificate expired.

>>20747953
I think you're right

>>20747893
I want to find a browser exploit, downloading an exe is too easy.

>>20747972

> astalavista.box.sk

IT LIVES! I remember downloading cracks and searching for serials on this site circa 2000.

Why don't you check albinoblacksheep.com and check the demented cartoon movie just for the nostalgia?

Dunno why, but I love watching people tinker around with older operating systems and hardware. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14 is my favorite example of this.

Keep going OP.

hmmmm

>>20748120
I remember going to Serials.ws as a kid.

I guess that place was actually riddled with malware?

>>20748120
>winflag in top right looks like an explosion
oh god lol

>>20748120
Oh dear god.. I remember getting those as a kid and thought I was going to go to jail or something

Hey OP please access some old archived sites with http://www.archive.org/web/web.php and take screenshots so we can feel like we're running on the 90's! Please please...

>Doom 2 installed under MS-DOS pre-Windows 1.0 still runs on 32-bit Windows 7
Meanwhile on Macs, Quicken 2007 and office 2004 already don't work with Lion. Delicious.

>>20748253
possibly because they changed from ppc to x86, but I don't know the exact date when they changed.

>>20748120
LOL man win 98 was my first OS, i never know why but soooo many programs would crash with illegal operation error

>>20748271
Early / mid 2000s. It was slowly phased out, Lion was the final product of the phase-out and doesn't support any ppc apps. Up to Snow Leopard you could run ppc apps.

Go to last measure, dude. mite b cool

>>20748344
Go to 4chan, I heard that place is riddled with super viruses man.

>>20748453

No Guest additions for 98?

>>20748453
>Done, but with errors on page.

no kidding

>>20748453
Shit's awesome. You made my day, thanks OP.

I should install 7 in a VB, then run XP mode inside it, then run Linux Mint in a VB in XP, then run Firefox in WINE in Linux Mint in XP mode in Win7 in a VB under OSX.

Keep going OP, the OS hasn't been destroyed yet.

Go to one of those fake virus scan sites for Win 7 and see if they work for 98.

Did Win98 have a Sys32 to delete?

>>20748550
got a link?

>>20748577
Yes, but the files in there weren't important. Normal "system" is where all of the action was.

Also, install Kazaa and see how it fares.

>>20747940
Windows 98 came with Internet Exploder 4 IIRC, if you are using 98 SE it should be IE 5

freemonsterporn.com doesn't work at all
