Things to avoid and things to do when downloading exploits

1. Have an Anti-Virus!
This should be pretty obvious but know that an Anti-Virus will
not catch every malicous file. Why's this? There is this program
called a crypter, which most people use to remove detections
from anti-virus scans. A FUD(fully undetactable) crypter can
make a malicious file fully un-detectable meaning it will come
up clean on something like Virus Total.
A good Anti-Malware and reccommended one is
HTML https://www.malwarebytes.com/.
Some other good ones include SuperAntiSpyware, ESET and SpyBot.
2. Pay attention to what the file you've just downloaded does!
If your Anti-Virus didn't pick anything up, and the file you've
downloaded doesn't do anything upon execution or just stops
responding, then the chances are it could have been malware.
Some crypters(Or KL/RAT clients) also have a fake message
feature. Example of this:
HTML https://gyazo.com/f0913fa4a8536045235694dd153b0be4
3. Use Malwr.com instead of Virus Total to analyse files!
Malwr.com goes into much more detail than Virus Total. On Virus
Total all you get are the file details and the Anti-Virus
detections that can always have false positives. On Malwr.com
you get the details of everything the file being analysed does.
If a file grabs your password list malwr will detect it, if a
file has anti-VM malwr would likely detect it. Here is an
example of a file analysis. Scroll down and see the signature
section:
HTML https://malwr.com/analysis/NDI2MjEyZTUwM...Y5MGZlYTM.
HTML http://4. Never, and I mean never save your passwords to your
browser!
This is more of a general tip, but when logging in or
registering sometimes your browser will ask to remember your
password. Never click remember password as most browsers like
Chrome and Firefox don't encrypt them and can easily be grabbed
by a malicous file you may run on your PC.
5. Use 2FA when possible!
Most websites nowadays have two-factor authentication. For some
sites, like v3rmillion you require your phone in order to get
into your account. So if someone has your password through any
means including malware it'll make it much more difficult to log
in and screw things up for you.
6. Use a VM to test files!
If you can spare the PC power then I'd reccommend using a VM to
test files. If a file gives you an error in a VM, never run it
on your PC as that could be an error triggered by an anti-VM
inside the file. I use VirtualBox, you can find many guides
online but if you're still unsure you can PM me here or msg me
on Discord: Radioactive#4470 and I'll help you out in setting
one up.
