Im studying ethical hacking on my own (literally just started), downloaded VirtualBox, created a Vmachine with kali to start learning and noticed it turned on core isolation on my pc.
I use this pc for gaming as well, and i kinda noticed a bit of overheating and a few fps drops but nothing really alarming. checked my cpu monitoring app and told me it couldn't read my cpu stats because of the core isolation, so i investigated what it is.
I understand it protects my host machine from malware or dangerous stuff that could happened on my VM (i think?), but as im just starting in this world i figured maybe there wouldn't be a problem to have it turned off, just for my peace of mind? as i said, there are not really any alarming behaviors on my host machine.
i probably should get another computer learn this sort of things without risking my main machine i guess, but for now i just have the one. is core isolation a must have for any ethical hacking activity? or is it ok for me to turn it off in the meantime?
