So I have been following ScammerRevolts for a long time and have been checking out the site for a while an I decided to join and be apart of an amazing community. I have a general question, what do yall think is the best, VirtualBox or VMware? VirtualBox is obviously free but do you think VMware Workstation Pro is worth the money? Maybe I should stick with VirtualBox. It might be a stupid question but I would love some honest answers.

You can also use VM workstation player which doesn’t require a licence  
Just remember Player doesn’t support snapshots, which is very usefull

Virtualbox is what I use. VMware had an vulnerability that allowed access to the host from the VM

I think that video where the scammer “got past the VM with VMWare” actually ended up being the guy letting the scanner on his host by accident rather than on his VM? I could be wrong though!
