What happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024?

Gonna be honest.. I thought you had to at least browse around and what not. Not expecting them to be able to infect you just by being online

Windows XP: Spyware comes from the internet Windows 11: Spyware comes pre-installed

this wouldn't have happened if you used Windows XP Gangster Edition

Lol! The way the malware instantly crashed your browser when you searched for it is hilarious.

Things to consider: - Windows XP is used by: - some military operations - as backend for machines for medical purposes (e.g. X-Ray, MRT, ...) - as backend for CNC-machines - as terminal backend for pos-Systems (Point Of Sale) - as terminal backend for ATMs - SysOps are reluctant for changes, if systems are running - If you would change the software on some machines, they would loose their certificates allowing them to be run. - Networking a Windows XP machine is that much more comfortable than sneaker-netting it. If you think about it, the scan for Windows XP machines connected to the internet starts to make an awful lot of sense!

This video is great example why router's all have a firewall built-in.

Good thing those days are gone, now we willingly let corporations install built-in spyware in our OS’s

Next Vid: I travel back in time to 2009 and then I click on every ad.

Fun Fact: There's machines online that sniff for older windows connecting to the internet that are vulnerable and auto infect them

Firewalls becoming commonplace is probably among the TOP reasons computer viruses have declined so much since the 2000s. Yes, there is still tons of malware, but the days of computer worms infecting millions of PCs via the internet are (hopefully) over.

- searches for a worm (2:50) - disables the firewall - says its unsafe

When Conhoz.exe started up MalwareBytes just said "You know what fuck this I'm going to burger king"

Once went to a new client who said their Win 2000 server was running slow. Turns out their onsite 'expert' had put it in the router's dmz cause they didn't know about port forwards. It was running slow because everyone else in the world was running their own software on it.

This is fake, he manually disabled all of XPs security features and then manually installed a worm 2:50 bottom right of taskbar.

A fun thing to do is turn on logging on the firewall and watch the huge number of scans and probes that continuously happen. Thankfully, we have firewalls that work.

Windows XP is still extensively targeted, as it is still used heavily in embedded and point of sale applications, as well as systems set up once and never modified because they never stopped working. Windows 95 would see much less malware on the internet, it's used in far fewer places as XP. There's also not as much to gain from running a bot net of Windows 95 boxes, or ransoming their disks. What would be spicy would be an early version of Windows NT, such as 3.X or 4.0 on the open net. Those are similar to modern windows under the hood, and are susceptible to pretty much every exploit in the book for the Windows operating system, winnuker and ping of death, for instance.

on 2:50 you can see xp sp 3 worm on taskbar bruuuuuhhhh

2:50 nice browser window down there on the task bar, surely you werent doing anything with it?

the frame showing he manually installed the spyware: im about to ruin this man's whole career

God, I can hear the old-school techno beats just by seeing that Windows XP interface.
