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.

    Well the reason the VM is isolated is probably 2 fold,

    1. prevent a spread of whatever caused the issue in the first place
    2. protect any data on the isolated device for being manipulated and corrupting any forensic evidence that might be on the VM/machine

    so if things are done correctly you shouldn’t copy any file to or from the isolated machine
