Malware Exposed: An In-Depth Analysis of its Behavior and Threats

Any software that acts maliciously towards a user, device, or network is referred to as malware. Malware analysis consists of four fundamental processes that make use of a variety of technologies to comprehend operation and pinpoint areas for removal. In order to examine the behavior of the malware on the system, the second phase, known as Basic Dynamic analysis, is running the malware in a secure environment. Running malware in a Sandbox environment is a crucial step in the Basic Dynamic Analysis process. In order to determine which sandbox gives the greatest flexibility for running malware for research, this study will examine a variety of sandboxes. Based on the desired characteristics of a sandbox environment, a rubric was developed. Scalability, the capability to examine different file kinds, and the presence of sandbox detection evasion strategies are a few of the parameters taken into account. To do Basic Dynamic Analysis for malware analysis after examining some of the most well-known sandboxes, Norman Sandbox, GFI Sandbox, and Anubis.
