Studying malware in an isolated network sandbox / Mathieu Couture & Frédéric Massicotte.: Co24-3/8-2009-2E-PDF
"A sandbox is a software tool allowing the safe monitoring of the execution of malicious software (malware), or more generally, programs that cannot be trusted. Most of the time, a sandbox is implemented in a virtual machine or a simulated operating system and allows to study the behavior of the program from the host's point of view. Over the years, we have developed a suite of tools that we came to consider as a network sandbox, i.e. a sandbox that allows us the study of a program's behavior from the network perspective. In this paper, we present results from a specific experiment conducted in our network sandbox using various malware samples. We believe that a network sandbox brings helpful information which, combined with the information brought by a host sandbox, provides a more complete view of the mechanisms that are taking place during the execution of malware"--Abstract.
