cuckoo-osx-analyzer

My GSoC project aiming at building an OS X analyzer for Cuckoo Sandbox project.

:warning: WIP :warning:

Usage

See also: bootstrap_host.sh and bootstrap_guest.sh

Guest machine setup

Install pt_deny_attach kernel extension suggested by @phretor. That's an optional step, see this comment for more details.
Since this analyser uses some utilities that require additional privileges to run, you may want to enable passwordless sudo for them. This may be accomplished by modifying /etc/sudoers file:

--- a/etc/sudoers
+++ b/etc/sudoers
@@ -43,3 +43,5 @@ root  ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now
+
+ username   ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/dtrace
+ username   ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/date

(replace username above with an actual user name).

Set the network settings: IP address, subnet mask, router address and DNS servers:

$ sudo networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 192.168.56.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.56.1
$ sudo networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Also, if you're using VirtualBox: don't forget to setup your host-only internet adapter and attach it to the guest machine.

Download and launch Cuckoo's agent.py:

$ curl -o /Users/Shared/agent.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cuckoobox/cuckoo/master/agent/agent.py
$ python /Users/Shared/agent.py

Take a VM snapshot. It's <kbd>cmd+T</kbd> for VirtualBox.

On the host side (OS X)

Setup internet traffic forwarding to and from your guest machine. Here's an example of using pfctl to forward traffic to and from vboxnet0 interface:

$ sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

$ rules="nat on en1 from vboxnet0:network to any -> (en1)
pass inet proto icmp all
pass in on vboxnet0 proto udp from any to any port domain keep state
pass quick on en1 proto udp from any to any port domain keep state"

$ echo "$rules" > ./pfrules
$ sudo pfctl -e -f ./pfrules
$ rm -f ./pfrules

Note that you'll have to re-enable traffic forwarding every time you reboot the host machine.

Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/rodionovd/cuckoo-osx-analyzer.git ~/cuckoo-osx-analyzer
# Or (if you prefer SSH):
# $ git clone git@github.com:rodionovd/cuckoo-osx-analyzer.git cuckoo-osx-analyzer

Symlink analyzer/darwin directory from this repository to your own copy of Cuckoo Sandbox:

$ cd /path/to/cuckoo/sandbox/
$ cd ./analyzer
$ ln -s ~/cuckoo-osx-analyzer/analyzer/darwin darwin

Submit an analysis job:

$ ./utils/submit.py --platform darwin ~/bin/sample

Adding custom API signatures

You can add custom API signatures and define data types in signatures.json and types.yml files.

Tests

You can run the test suite with nose:

$ cd ./cuckoo-osx-analyzer
$ sudo -H pip install -r requirements.txt
$ nosetests

NOTE: Running Cuckoo integration tests requires Cuckoo to be installed in the same directory as the analyzer itself:

$ ls cuckoo cuckoo-osx-analyzer
