DRAKVUF Sandbox vs Malwagon

DRAKVUF Sandbox is a free, GPL version 2 software project from CERT Polska for automated, black-box malware analysis. It uses the DRAKVUF engine and examines suspicious files without installing an agent inside the guest operating system. Files can be uploaded through a web interface, while an API, analysis queue, dashboard, Flask web application, rq worker and Redis support the workflow. Default plugins monitor WinAPI calls, file activity, memory regions, processes, network connections, DNS queries and TLS master keys. Reports show process trees, network and domain activity, modified or deleted files and high-level TTP indicators. Available downloads can include PCAP traffic, intercepted TLS keys and memory dumps. Uploads can disable guest internet access. On-premises deployment uses Xen 4.17 or later, with 4.19 recommended, on Debian 12 or Ubuntu 22.04 Intel hosts. Supported guests are Windows 10 x64 and Windows 7 x64.

Malwagon is a cloud-based malware analysis sandbox that examines files, URLs, commands, documents, packages, hashes and Windows kernel drivers in isolated virtual machines. It returns scored verdicts with evidence. Static analysis includes YARA, capability identification, obfuscated-string recovery, packer and entropy checks, signature scanning, disassembly, secrets scanning and configuration extraction. Dynamic analysis records ETW kernel telemetry, memory forensics, hypervisor introspection, network traffic and JA3/JA4 fingerprints. Reports can include MITRE ATT&CK mappings and generated YARA, Sigma and Suricata rules, with exports including ATT&CK Navigator, STIX 2.1, MISP, PDF and DOCX. Accepted executables and archives can be up to 128 MB. Each run uses its own full virtual machine, discarded afterward. Samples stay on Malwagon-operated infrastructure; third parties receive hashes and derived indicators for reputation lookups. Free-tier reports are public, while paid plans can keep scans private. Pro costs $79 a month, billed $790/yr billed yearly, and includes 200 scan credits per month, private reports, REST API and MCP access.
