For this week's discussion posting, I'm asking that you research and describe what VirusTotal is and the Cuckoo Sandbox. How do these two resources help cyber security personnel? What useful information can you acquire from each of these if you are working network defense, incident response, or digital forensics?

In addition, I would like for you to download and run the following Windows tools from SysInternals: AutoRuns, TCPview, Process Explorer, and Sysmon and TrendMicro's HiJackThis!. What do each of these tools tell you about your computer? Did you discover anything you didn't expect/did you remove anything based on your findings? How can they help in identifying and remediating malicious software running on end points? Who developed the tools? Are they still supported? Are there any online resources/guides/videos that are useful for helping detect and remove malicious software using these tools?  Note: HiJack This! is not a malicious program. Failure to run it will result in a deduction in points for this posting.

As always, please provide citations when applicable.

VirusTotal aggregates many antivirus products in online scan engines to check for viruses that the user`s own antivirus may have missed,or to verify against any false positive . Antivirus software vendors can review copies of file that were flagged by other scans but passed by their own engine, to help improve their software and , by extension,VirusTotal`s own capability.

Cuckoo Sandbox is an open-source software for automating analysis of suspicious files. To do so is makes use of custom components that monitor the behavior of the malicious processes while running in an isolated environment.

Cuckoo sandbox is a tool to underestand the behaviour of a suspicious file when executed, it is available for initial automated triage in incident response.you can submit potentially malicious files and documents,file hashes,or URLs for analysis before putting a person on the job.cuckoo can be configured to use any malware research rulest and output data to threat information sharing platforms like MISP.
