[英]Do I need to perform updates when I'm running a Virtual Box inside the host?
I am running Windows XP as the host, and have several flavors of Linux running on the Virtual Box. 我将Windows XP作为主机运行,并在Virtual Box上运行了几种Linux。 I'm never going to use my Windows host for anything, other than a host.
除了主机之外,我绝不会将Windows主机用于任何其他用途。
Will the Windows machine stand a chance of attack without updates? 如果没有更新,Windows计算机是否有遭受攻击的机会? I do have a firewall installed (don't know if I can mention brands) and a virus scanner - But I refuse the updates and the .NET stuff - as I'm not using the machine for anything.
我确实安装了防火墙(不知道我是否能提及品牌)和病毒扫描程序-但是我拒绝更新和.NET内容-因为我没有将计算机用于任何用途。
I know I could just run Linux and do a virtual box inside, but due to circumstances... I am running Windows. 我知道我可以只运行Linux并在其中做一个虚拟盒子,但是由于某些情况...我正在运行Windows。
If the computer is connected to the network then you may be vulnerable to security holes in Windows XP itself, eg an attack targeting the TCP/IP stack. 如果计算机已连接到网络,则您可能容易受到Windows XP本身的安全漏洞的影响,例如针对TCP / IP堆栈的攻击。 Even if you don't use it for anything other than a VM host, I'd still recommend keeping Windows as up-to-date as possible, especially if it's connected to the network.
即使您不将其用于VM主机之外,我仍然建议尽可能使Windows保持最新状态,尤其是在Windows连接到网络的情况下。
In my opinion, the only time you should avoid keeping an OS updated is if there is an incompatible application that won't run under a particular hotfix, but these should be rare. 在我看来,唯一应该避免更新操作系统的情况是,如果有不兼容的应用程序无法在特定的修补程序下运行,但是这种情况很少见。
