Hybrid Analysis vs ReversingLabs Cloud Sandbox

Hybrid Analysis is a cloud malware analysis service for examining files and URLs to detect and investigate unknown threats. Its free community plan allows 30 file uploads per month, with a maximum file size of 100 MB. File analysis can include Falcon Static Analysis, reputation lookups, antivirus engines and static checks; submitted files can also receive in-depth static and dynamic analysis. Search covers reports, YARA rules, strings and indicators of compromise. Registered users can create a restricted free Public API key for submissions, searches, report retrieval and data erasure, subject to privileges. The service supports hybrid static and runtime analysis on Windows 7 and Windows 10, plus extensive static analysis of Android APK files. Listed integrations include VirusTotal, OPSWAT Metadefender and SIEM systems. Submitted material may be retained or shared at the service’s discretion, including screenshots and metadata for samples marked not to share. Terms limit use to internal business security or legitimate research.

ReversingLabs Cloud Sandbox executes files in isolated environments to observe runtime behavior and complement static analysis. It offers automatic analysis as well as interactive sessions where analysts can engage with a sample while it runs. Analysis supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android; Android is available for file submissions, not URL analysis.

Reports include network and behavioral indicators, process activity, registry and file changes, and downloadable artifacts. Files can be submitted through the Dynamic Analysis Submission API. The feature preview permits five samples per day, while full access is available at additional cost through ReversingLabs Sales Support. Individual samples can be up to 400 MB, and artifacts are available for download for one year. For private samples, other ReversingLabs customers may see results but not sample contents, dropped files, PCAP files, or memory string dumps. VPN routing is used when samples may connect to the internet. The service is intended for security operations teams handling incident response and threat hunting. ReversingLabs is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was founded in 2009.
