The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 7 months ago

A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

You can detonate it into a VM running an instance of Cuckoo Sandbox. If you want to go the extra mile, you can dump the memory of said VM and analyse it with Volatility Framework. Also, if you want to quickly identify behavioural patterns in executable code, you can use Mandiant's CAPA tool (though idk if it works on .pdfs). Source: about 1 year ago

You should save a copy of the .exe, copy it into a VM running Cuckoo and get a report on exactly what the .exe does. Without this automated dissection, people are making educated guesses. They're probably right, but why not be certain? There is an online version too - https://cuckoosandbox.org. Source: about 1 year ago

You could use a service like cuckoo to check links/files. Source: over 1 year ago

I made my own lab in college using a series of VM's, A windows 10 machine that was packed with analysis tools, a kali listening machine (running inetsim or fakenet, I can't remember.) and I had remnux on another machine (which I ended up not really making use of, but it was there.) I used virtualbox and ran these VM's in an internal network, no internet access. Disabled all clipboard and file sharing after... Source: over 1 year ago

Another option if you want to self-host is https://cuckoosandbox.org/ . Of note, it's currently an unmaintained project so issues may not receive support, but it is free. Source: over 1 year ago
