Performing Dynamic Analysis With Any Run

ANY.RUN Task Configuration:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OS Selection:        Windows 10 x64 (recommended default)
                     Windows 7 x64 (for legacy malware)
                     Windows 11 x64 (for modern samples)
Execution Time:      60 seconds (default) / 120-300 for slow-acting malware
Network:             Connected (captures real C2 traffic)
                     Residential Proxy (bypasses geo-blocking)
Privacy:             Public (free tier) / Private (paid - not indexed)
MITM Proxy:          Enable for HTTPS traffic decryption
Fake Net:            Enable to simulate internet services if sample checks connectivity

Interactive Actions During Analysis:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Document Macros:   Click "Enable Content" / "Enable Editing" when prompted
2. Installer Screens: Click through installation dialogs
3. UAC Prompts:       Click "Yes" to allow elevation (observe privilege escalation)
4. Credential Harvests: Enter fake credentials to observe phishing behavior
5. Browser Redirects:  Navigate to URLs if malware opens browser windows
6. File Dialogs:       Select target files if malware presents file picker
7. Timeout Extension:  Extend analysis time if malware has delayed execution

Process Tree Analysis Points:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Parent-Child Relationships:
  - WINWORD.EXE -> cmd.exe -> powershell.exe (macro execution chain)
  - explorer.exe -> suspect.exe -> svchost.exe (process injection)

Process Events to Note:
  - Process creation with suspicious command-line arguments
  - PowerShell with encoded commands (-enc / -encodedcommand)
  - cmd.exe executing script files (.bat, .vbs, .js)
  - Legitimate processes spawned from unusual parents
  - Process termination (self-deletion behavior)

ANY.RUN Network Panel Analysis:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DNS Requests:
  - Domain resolutions with threat intelligence tags
  - Fast-flux or DGA domain patterns
  - DNS over HTTPS (DoH) detection

HTTP/HTTPS Traffic (with MITM enabled):
  - Full request/response bodies for HTTP
  - Decrypted HTTPS traffic showing C2 commands
  - Downloaded payloads and their content types
  - POST data containing exfiltrated information

Connection Map:
  - Geographic visualization of C2 server locations
  - Connection timeline showing beacon patterns
  - Suricata alerts triggered on network traffic

ANY.RUN IOC Categories:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Files:       Dropped files with hashes, YARA matches, VirusTotal results
Network:     IPs, domains, URLs contacted during execution
Registry:    Keys created/modified for persistence
Processes:   Suspicious process names and command lines
Mutex:       Named mutexes created (used for single-instance checking)
Signatures:  Suricata rules triggered, behavioral signatures matched

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping:
  - ANY.RUN automatically maps observed behaviors to ATT&CK techniques
  - Review the ATT&CK matrix tab for technique coverage
  - Export ATT&CK Navigator layer for reporting
