Setting Up Your Malware Analysis Environment
Before getting into the installation and configuration Manuel you will need to download Oracle virtual
box on your Windows machine from the following link:

https://github.com/mandiant/flare-vm
This will take a long time to finish (2-4 hours), after a couple of reboots, all will be set

4- Take a snapshot for the current state of the machine and call it “Pre-Detonation state”
The second machine will be Remnux (Linux Machine for luring the malware to connect to internet)
To configure this machine along with the Windows machine do the following:

2- Do the following configuration
4- Now change the network interface to Windows machine and Remnux as well from host
only to the interface you created
5- In Windows machine, go to networks and make sure to change the DNS settings and place the IP
of Remnux machine there
6- Don't forget to install the Windows tools (Just youtube it) this is to expand your screen
Back to Remnux machine
