I want to visit a known malicious site to see what that guy does. Firefox and Chrome both give a malicious warning before visiting it.

Any suggestions as to how can I safely visit the site?
Like disabling Javascript would do?
 
You can view the Google cache version of the page. Put the URL in G0ogle and click on the "cached" link. It is safe not to visit the site directly even if you disable the JS.
 
Funny old day... I just upgraded Firefox and got told that McAfee Site Advisor would no longer work :(

Absolute vigilance is in order ... and keep your virus scanner updated!

[edit]Actually, the simplest way is to have two computers. One that you do most stuff on and another that you don't. The second can be the cheapest second hand model that can run a browser and you can simply reformat when sh1t happens[/edit]

Then do it. isn't getting your pc fucked up part of the fun experience!! YAY
then when your pc starts having a fit, blame it on eminem or Marilyn Manson while you grab your balls.
 
If its really malicious, I'd say download a copy of vmware somewhere, install a windows iso on it, and visit it there.

Delete the virtual machine when done.

No cache for it :(

Too much work. And not always it is fun. The fun part is probably the first 2 times, then it just needs to be taken care of.

I found this which gives the source code of site
http://www.find-ip-address.org/site-viewer.php

But my problem is that the site is only visible from a particular referrer. And idea as to how I could fake a referrer to input the the above site?
 
just rent a very freaking cheap vps, or go to a local internet cafe is the best solution, go to schoool or library use their computer

lol
 
Install Sandboxie and open a Sandboxed web browser. Delete contents afterwards

Now that's the kind of intelligent answer I was looking for! Thanks + Rep :)


sounds like whale requirements, why your whole self?

Lolz... Nice one :P

Well you sound like a lazy little shyster to me!

Best wishes in your endeavours!

Trying to do something with least efforts should not be confused with laziness. Rather if someone is ready to do an hour's work for something which can be completed in minutes, I'd say he's dumb! I'd be a shithead if I would have to format my computer everytime I want to visit something like this. Check out the sandboxed browser solution by abyssal_miss for differentiating "laziness with efficiency"
 
Maybe visit on iPhone or similar device? Or just brave it and have hit at the ready lol.
 
I visited it using sandboxie


Damn! It freaked me out still... Following was the incomplete sequence till I witnessed it:

1. A message box (or alert box?) which says that your site is infected with malware (In disguise as if it is a windows alert box)
2. Then visually shows your hard drives as you see in your "My Computer" page, all in red with some scripts running in the progress bar at the centre of the screen as if it was doing some kind of scanning from windows.

Everything was just moving so fast I just closed the browser and started seeing if it still creeped into my system after using sandboxie.

Would probably try seeing the entire sequence next time I use an internet cafe :P

I didn't realize though as to how he makes money (might be I missed the ending climax of the movie :P )
 
Not that I need the rep but?

Oops! I already had the answer before posting the reply. Seems it was missed on account of concurrency and next time I just saw the threads below my reply so missed again.

You deserve rep so I'd still give :) Thanks :)
 
I've found that Oracle's VirtualBox works well.

1) Install VB;

2) Make a snapshot of the VB disk immediately after installing VB and before doing anything else.

3) Run a browser in VB;

4) After visiting the site, rollback VB to the original snapshot.

Sounds like a rouge anti virus install exploit.
They will blackmail you to remove their shit.
