Does it mess with network drivers on OS X

Post by harry21 »

Hey Guys,

I just installed an XP VM and it went pretty well so far. I was just wondering if VirtualBox messes around with any network drivers from OS X in "Host Interface Networking" mode. I read through the manual and it only says it uses drivers on the host OS to manipulate data going in and out of the configured interface. Now I just wanted to ask if these Drivers are additionally or if it replaces/modifies Apple's drivers in any way. And if there is additional risk for my Host OS if the Guest is insecure.

Thanks in advance

Harry
