Hold on, before you guys keep flaming him. No script, plus zero trust DNS policies. I mean hell, you should be doing it anyway because you’re just as vulnerable to a 0 day attack or some sort of NPM malware that’s apparently going around right now.
If you really want to get crazy you could run your windows 7 OS in an immutable Virtual Environment on a lightweight Linux distribution with hardware pass through to get the most authentic experience. That’s almost bulletproof, and I’d wager infinitely more secure than running stock windows 11 on bare metal.
Which by the way, malware is generally written to target the majority, that means any windows 11 specific exploits wouldn’t work. But I know there’s a lot of unpatched exploits in 7 so I won’t even pretend that’s not there. It’s just that the likelihood that 7 is targeted just depends on who the attacker wants to go after.
Edit: and before anyone says anything about sensitive information being stolen, my response is: fuck no, you should not be putting sensitive information on a windows 7 machine at all.
