How can you get a file into a VM without creating a potential malware breach? I was told to kill the internet connection, disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, and no sharing disks, but how would I be able to get the files into the VM if it is secure from both sides? The file in question is about 36GB and there is a second file that is 678MB.
Thank you.
encode it in base 64 and type it in
I can’t imagine how long it would take to do that with a 32GB file, or how many errors it they would have by the end.
don’t rush too much, and triple check everything
You could actually do it! If you founded a small dynasty of humans willing to type relentlessly for many hundreds of years, in succession.
What would take long? Also, why would there be errors?
Manually typing the base64 encoded 32GB file? Open up a terminal and type
echo “example text” | base64, then imagine inputing the result of piping 32GB to it instead of 13 characters.
