Corvus: A sandbox and threat intelligence solution for malware analysis and identification

Abstract


In this paper, we introduce Corvus, a web platform for identifying, triaging, and analyzing malware threats. By using it, users can submit unknown PDF and/or Android, Linux, and Windows files to static, dynamic, and data analysis procedures. The obtained data is reported in tables, dynamic graphs, and can be exported in formats suitable for the usage by security incident response teams. Available at https://corvus.inf.ufpr.br/.

Keywords: malware, sandbox, intelligence, threat, analysis
