from my experience with proxmox, the in-browser novnc is super duper slow, the best solution i've found is to install a vnc server inside of the vm and connect to that instead using something light tightvnc
Please no. It might not be as bad as reinstalling windows 95 (multiple times) every day…but it ain't no windows 2k (i still have an install on an IDE HDD from like 20 years ago that boots on pretty much any pc without issues). If only there was a 64bit windows 2k (that Server 2003 thing didn't go so well) I might be less likely to commit suicide.
At least windows 98 is still better than windows 8/10/11 though, it's like 87+ more, at the very least. And luckily microsoft(which is basically a description of my penis, though I've actually registered a company named macroshaft) know how to count. 3, 95, 98, XP, 2000, 2003, 7, 8, 10, 11.
There is a big difference in security between win98 and win98se. Pre SE it was vulnerable to the backoraface attack which I used to have so much fun with because it was a backdoor RDP and was so much fun to mess with people. I don’t know if the conspiracy that it was NSA is true but I can confirm it was the best hack I ever seen in my life, by far.
This is bloody brilliant lol
I want a part 3, but with Win 7 or win 8, I don't know if you already did it, I'm a new sub haha ^^"
I have a dedicated Windows 98 PC that I use for retro games, software, and I connect it to the internet from time to time, mostly to do retro web browsing via the internet archive. Never had any problems. It can't even connect to most modern sites (and probably vise-versa) because it's so outdated. It's probably like you said, security by obscurity. Anyone looking to hack computers doesn't really have a reason to target Win9x anymore.
Would you consider doing one of these tests on Vista? Or would it be a waste of time?
isnt there a "LISTS" file where u can block certain IP'S etc DNS and setup in a file for Win9x and Win XP so i can build by retro PCS i have a few i want to build (ones i had in the past with 3Dfx K6-2 and Phenom I & II 9550 and 1100T X6 PCs but if i connect to internet and no way to stop this that is bull$h!t man….. need ways to block these hacker IPS
Huh… I thought it would get hacked directly! 😀
Thanks for the video!
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.
