Cuckoo Sandbox

What is Cuckoo Sandbox?

Cuckoo Sandbox is an open-source, automated malware analysis system that provides detailed reports on the behavior of suspicious files when executed in an isolated, realistic environment. By leveraging virtualization technologies, such as VirtualBox or QEMU-KVM, Cuckoo Sandbox creates a Windows guest environment on Linux or macOS hosts, allowing users to safely and automatically run and analyze files to collect comprehensive data on their actions, including Win32 API calls, file modifications, memory dumps, network traffic traces, and screenshots of execution behavior

Highlights

• Automated malware analysis: Cuckoo Sandbox can process any suspicious file and generate a detailed report on its behavior within an isolated, virtualized environment
• Modular and cross-platform: The system runs on command-line on Linux or macOS hosts, using Python and supporting various virtualization solutions
• Comprehensive analysis: The reports provide a wealth of information, including API calls, file changes, memory dumps, network traffic, and visual snapshots of the malware's execution
• Malwr.com: A free, non-commercial instance of Cuckoo Sandbox that also integrates with VirusTotal's APIs and libraries to present the file analysis.
