Free Automated Malware Analysis Services
In my SANS Institute course, I teach security and systems professionals how to reverse-engineer malicious software. It is an interesting, but time-consuming process if you don't have the right skills and tools at hand.
There are several free automated malware analysis services that can examine compiled Windows executables to save us time and provide a sense about the specimen's capabilities:
- Anubis
- BitBlaze Malware Analysis Service
- Comodo Automated Analysis System
- CWSandbox (and the instance at Sunbelt Software)
- EUREKA Malware Analysis Internet Service
- Joebox
- Norman SandBox
- ThreatExpert
- Xandora
These are the services I have come across. If you know of another reliable and free service I didn't list, please let me know.
My other lists of on-line security resources outline Blocklists of Suspected Malicious IPs and URLs and On-Line Tools for Malicious Website Lookups.
