Keyloggers and Virtual Machines [closed]

Question

I want to test some keyloggers in order to see how they work.

If my host OS is clean, and I install the keyloggers on a guest OS running in VirtualBox, will the keylogger be able to log the keystrokes and screenshots in the HOST OS?

I think I know the answer to this question but I just want to make sure.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Unless your VMs are broken, key/screen-loggers will be fully contained in the VMs and will gain no access to the host OS keyboard/screen data that's outside of the VM.
