Really nice paper on defeating evasive malware - huge kudos to the authors 👏🔥
In a nutshell:
They use AI-generated instruction-skip YARA rules to automatically bypass evasions inside CAPE and expose hidden malware behavior 🤯
Also interesting: Joe Sandbox came out as the clear leader for malware family detection compared to the other sandbox platforms in their evaluation 🏆🦠
Great to see academic research using Joe Sandbox as a strong benchmark 💪

🧵 From a "harmless" DLL to a fully reconstructed multi-stage #CobaltStrike Beacon.
In our latest blog, we break down how we:
🔍 Uncovered a hidden multi-stage loader chain
🧠 Bypassed anti-sandbox domain checks
🛠️ Rebuilt dumped memory into runnable PE files
🌐 Reconstructed C2 comms & crypto
🎯 Extracted IOCs and linked the implant to known infrastructure
A deep dive into loader reconstruction, memory forensics, protocol analysis, and attribution.

Great Joe Sandbox catch of #Quishing (QR Code #Phishing)! Submit various file formats like PNG, JPEG, GIF, PDF, EML, MSG, and more. Live Interaction extracts the URL and opens it in Chrome automatically.

#GuLoader (dropping #formbook, #nanocore, #remcos, #agenttesla etc.) has updated its hammering loop from 11M to 268M instructions and added a new time source! If you want to bypass #sandboxes it is definitely the loader of choice! https://t.co/FTHFsMTNQf https://t.co/UNmDQzJiKy
Thanks to automated .NET decompliation Joe Sandbox detects the #SUNBURST backdoor in OrionImprovementBusinessLayer C# code! .NET decompliation is also applied to unpacked binaries: https://t.co/Huwf0NXRKo #malware#dfir#infosec
[Feature] We have successfully added memory dumping capabilities to Joe Sandbox - #macOS dynamic analysis! This enables customer Yara rules for unpacked code! https://t.co/uqRcdhJVk8

Recent #TrickBot is using some nice API hammering to evade #sandbox! Read more about how API hammering works in our latest blog post: https://t.co/zeNIhsSPF4

#COVID19 is not only infecting your body but also your computer's #MBR 😈😈😈 - at least this #virus (ref https://t.co/pCB8Kol9Me). Guess what the "Remove virus" button is just fake 😂
