I will not restore your VM again — snapshot discipline

This is the writeup I wanted when I was stuck. On «I will not restore your VM again — snapshot discipline»: Host-only NIC, no shared folders, no drag-drop, snapshots before every detonation, time sync off, one-way logging. Host-only NIC, no shared folders, no drag-drop. Floor, not ceiling. I will +rep a listing and −rep a vibe. That is the deal.

Decompiler output is a hypothesis. Treat it like one. I want the listing, not the decompiler story. On «I will not restore your VM again — snapshot discipline»: Host-only NIC, no shared folders, no drag-drop, snapshots before every detonation, time sync off, one-way logging. Full disk is a detection gap. Rate-limit logs, alert at 70%. I reproduced it on lab build 1289.

This is getting personal and it does not need to. This is the kind of thread that should be a sticky and is not. On «I will not restore your VM again — snapshot discipline»: Host-only NIC, no shared folders, no drag-drop, snapshots before every detonation, time sync off, one-way logging. Full disk is a detection gap. Rate-limit logs, alert at 70%. Can you quote the offset instead of the graph screenshot? Same class as the January thread, different binary.

If you only have the decompiler, you do not have the bug. You wrote «Host-only NIC, no shared folders, no drag-drop, snapshots before every detonation, time sync off, one-way logging». That is the sentence I keep. Firewall rules not in the repo are unreviewed code. Took me 9 hours the first time.
