LitterBox: sandbox approach for malware developers and red teamers

LitterBox

Your malware’s favorite sandbox – where red teamers come to bury their payloads.

A sandbox environment designed specifically for malware development and payload testing.

This Web Application enables red teamers to validate evasion techniques, assess detection signatures, and test implant behavior before deployment in the field.

Think of it as your personal LitterBox for perfecting your tradecraft without leaving traces on production detection systems.

The platform provides automated analysis through an intuitive web interface, monitoring process behavior and generating comprehensive runtime analysis reports.

This ensures your payloads work as intended before execution in target environments.

Features

For Microsoft Office files (.docx, .xlsx, .doc, .xls, .xlsm, .docm):

  • Macro detection and extraction
  • VBA code analysis
  • Hidden content identification

Analysis Capabilities

Static Analysis Engine

  • Signature-based detection using industry-standard rulesets
  • Binary entropy analysis
  • String extraction and analysis
  • Pattern matching for suspicious indicators

Dynamic Analysis Engine

Available in two modes:

  • File Analysis Mode

Doppelganger Analysis

Doppelganger helps you analyze payload in two ways:

Blender

Looks at what’s running on your system by:

  • Scanning active processes to collect IOCs
  • Comparing these IOCs with your payload
  • Showing you which processes are the closest matches
FuzzyHash

Helps you find similar code by:

  • Storing known tools in a database
  • Using ssdeep to compare your payload with open-source tools
  • Showing matches in a simple way, with both overall and specific scores
