A new online sandbox service enables interactive malware analysis. It is called Any.Run (AnyRun) and announced that the free community version is available for all interested.
The service allows anyone to register an account to interactively analyze a specific one archive in real time.
Any.Run created 2016 by Russian security researcher Alexey Lapshin. His team now consists of five dedicated developers who are constantly working to improve the platform.
What makes Any.Run different from other sandbox analysis tools is that it is completely interactive.
This means that instead of uploading a file and waiting for sandbox to show you a report, with Any.Run you can upload a file and run it in real time on the sandbox while watching the file resolution.
This allows you to upload malicious apps that require you to click or malicious documents that require content or macro activationorders.
For example, suppose you want to analyze an adware that requires you to click on various installation prompts before installing unwanted programs. Using Any.Run can be done safely while tracking the analysis of each malware movement.
Any.Run is not intended for bulk controls that do not require user intervention, but is intended for users who want to analyze malware that requires user interaction, to create PoCs of new exploits and analyze exploit bundles.
The service, according to the researcher, continues to grow, and in the future we will see more useful additions.
