Verifying the safety of a dodgy software #1
Okay,

I'm considering buying a 'cracked' exploit builder from one of the tor-based marketplaces, just because I'm lazy and it's cheap.

How can I verify that it's safe to use? I'll be running in a VM anyway but would like to know of any simple/entry level methods of checking for trojans etc.

Bare in mind that I'm a shit reverse engineererer. I've just never had much reason to practice the skill.

You're fine running it in a VM

Awesome.

Would still like to know simplest way to go about it.

Is it generally a holistic approach? Scans, checks, sandboxing, network sniffing etc before destructive testing on binaries?

The answer is yes and sandboxie would be easiest.

Use VM with DeepFreez and it will be good.

VM is the best option, however do note that a virus CAN break out of the VM. The beat explanation I've seen about that is here - https://superuser.com/questions/289054/i...al-machine
