Here’s a careful reminder that Linux viruses can come in Windows executables.
When it comes to hacking in the modern day it’s all about escaping the box - whether that box is a container, a VM, a sandbox or indeed even an emulated environment. So we should still fear the binary blob.
Remember: update early, update often - no matter how painful that sounds.
“Okay i’il look in to other drives”
Wine is a flatpak
yea, I play pirated games via flatpak bottles in hopes that getting out of the sandbox would be far too much work for the possible gains.
Meanwhile innocent looking Z:/ drive
runs wine as root yolo
unless you have it sandboxed in a flatpack container
Yeah, Wine is not a secure container. Don’t count on it for security.
Isn’t a way possible to prevent z:/ mapping while creating wine prefix ?
It’s not just the drive letter mapping, Wine doesn’t make any attempt to secure software.
You can run Wine inside an actual security solution.
I guess not allowing flatpak wine to access anything that is not necessary is the easiest way to achieve it. No idea if it is also the most secure solution.
This is pure gold
My linus virus trying to fuck up my disk on nixos (coreutils isn’t in the path)
doesn’t every game have its own c_drive?
Yea im pretty sure thats the point. The virus will get a drive that has nothing but the infected game on it.
