Installing Cuckoo Sandbox

8
Cuckoo Sandbox’s host set up, installation and configuration is well documented so I won’t go through
this procedure here. It does take a little time to set up but when you’ve completed it, you will have a
very powerful analysis tool at your disposal.

Using Cuckoo Sandbox

When Cuckoo has been installed and configured, start the Cuckoo server:

$ python cuckoo.py

To execute a sample within the sandbox, run the submit script while specifying the file (or folder
containing multiple files) to be analysed. If you have chosen to analyse a folder of samples, they are
queued up and automatically analysed in sequence:

$ python submit.py

When analysis is complete all the analysis output can be found in the storage folder. The output
comprises of a link to the original file, additional files dropped by the sample, analysis logs, screenshots,
traffic dumps and report files:
