VirtualBox: How to Setup your Malware Analysis
Summary
This documentation will provide you with a step-by-step guide to creating a virtual machine over VirtualBox. Though, we will not create a generic VM! This VM will provide you with completely isolated and non-detectable environment for Malware Analysis.
As advanced malware nowadays is able to detect its environment (e.g. scanning for RAM, CPU cores, disk space, registry keys and even drivers) they are now able to stop their execution if they detect a virtualized environment. Therefore it is critical to setup your malware analysis VM correctly.
In order to render your VM undetectable we have chosen two state-of-the-art tools on Github. One only supports Windows as its host OS and the other is relying on dependencies only available on Ubuntu.
Requirements
- Host Operating system: Ubuntu 16/18.04 or Windows 7/10
- Tools: 'VBoxHardenedLoader' (for Windows) and 'antivmdetection' (for Ubuntu)
In order to complete these steps, you must have followed Some Other Documentation before.
