Earlier this week, it was announced that researchers uncovered two new side channel attacks that exploit newly discovered vulnerabilities found in most CPU processors, including those from Intel, AMD, and ARM. These vulnerabilities allow malicious userspace processes to read kernel memory, thereby potentially causing sensitive kernel information to leak. These vulnerabilities are known as Meltdown and Spectre.

In this blog post, we will discuss the history of sandbox detection. We will then unveil the malware families that KTIS has observed from spear-phishing emails that attempt to bypass the user-mode API hook in order to evade sandbox detection. And finally, we will share the mitigation method we use to harden the Cuckoo sandbox against this bypass technique.

2017 was another landmark year for cybersecurity. In reviewing our quarterly Threat Landscape reports, it is clear that 2017 has been notable primarily for three things: the rapid digital transformation and expansion of the potential attack surface, the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, and a lapse in basic cybersecurity hygiene, largely being driven by digital transformation coupled with the growing cybersecurity skills gap.
