Using Cape Sandbox for Phishing Analysis
Hi guys,
Lately, I’ve been using CAPE Sandbox for malware analysis, and it has been working very well for malicious executable files. However, I still haven’t tried analyzing phishing emails, such as .eml files, with it.
I noticed that when selecting the file type to be analyzed in CAPE, there is an option for .eml files. I was wondering if anyone here is already using CAPE for phishing email analysis and could share their experience with it.
Also, I understand that Outlook needs to be installed in the analysis VM for this type of analysis to work properly. If possible, could you also explain how CAPE performs the phishing email analysis? For example, does it open the email in Outlook, extract attachments and URLs, execute embedded content, or monitor user-like interaction with the email?
Any insights, tips, or configuration recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!
