Burnyard: Future of Malware Analysis
About
Malware analysis is a critical aspect of modern cybersecurity. The prevailing industry practice, sandboxing, involves executing suspicious binaries within isolated virtual machines in large-scale data centers. However, this approach can unintentionally expose samples to public platforms such as VirusTotal and MalwareBazaar, and it is both resource-intensive and time-consuming. Burnyard addresses these limitations through a lightweight binary emulation platform that captures observable runtime behavior and records it as structured CSV event traces.
