Cuckoo Sandbox VS Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

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: 12 months 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

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

I think some of your pain might be alleviated with the PVS Tech Preview that’s going on. It’s specifically PVS in Azure. I know that’s full Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service (CVADS) vs CVADS Standard in Azure but it’s something to look into. And regarding the docs, have you checked the full docs site for CVADS Standard for Azure? https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops-standard-azure.html. Source: about 3 years ago
