Cuckoo Sandbox
Overview
Cuckoo is an open source automated malware analysis system.
It’s used to automatically run and analyze files and collect comprehensive analysis results that outline what the malware does while running inside an isolated Windows operating system.
It can retrieve the following type of results:
- Traces of win32 APIApplication Programming Interface calls performed by all processes spawned by the malware.
- Files being created, deleted and downloaded by the malware during its execution.
- Memory dumps of the malware processes.
- Network traffic trace in PCAPPacket capture format format.
- Screenshots of Windows desktop taken during the execution of the malware.
- Full memory dumps of the machines (including automatic running of Volatility).

Instance
An in-work instance is at http://10.3.2.118:8080/. The instance has a 32-bit Windows XPWindows operating system (Version) SP3 sandbox and a 32-bit Windows 7 SP1 sandbox. Both sandboxes are limited to "host-only" networking and will not be able to resolve external network resources on DEVLAN (see TODO).
Analyzing ICEIn-memory Code Execution modules
An ICEIn-memory Code Execution DLLDynamic Link Library module analysis package is available (its also still in-work; so please report any bugs you find).
It will take the "sample" and run it using RICE 1.0. Currently it only supports ICEIn-memory Code Execution Fire and Fire and Forget modules.
In order to submit a sample to cuckoo and have it run it as an ICEIn-memory Code Execution module, take the following steps:
- Zip up the ICEIn-memory Code Execution DLLDynamic Link Library and META.xml into a zip file.
For ease of submission, ensure the .META.xml file has the same name as the DLL. (i.e. ice.zip has 2 files: ice.dll and ice.dll.META.xml) - Open a browser to http://10.3.2.118:8080/submit/
- Click Select and then select the zip file containing the ICEIn-memory Code Execution module and META.xml file.
- Next click Advanced Options to expand the submit form
- Select "ice_dll" as the Analysis Package.
- In the Options field enter "file=[ICE DLLDynamic Link Library FILE],rice_arguments=[--Fire|–FireAndForget]
- For Machine select cuckoo_win7 as the vm to run the sample in.
- Finally click 'Analyze' to submit
- Once submitted sucessfully, click Recent to see status.
