Configuring a sandbox environment for malware testing

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a file to be analyzed for malware using a sandbox environment;
• determine file information based on analyzing the file,
• the file information identifying one or more features of a system configuration;
• determine, based on the file information, the system configuration,
• the system configuration including information regarding:
• a compiler to be used by the sandbox environment, and
• an operating system to be used by the sandbox environment;
• configure the sandbox environment using the system configuration;
• analyze the file for malware using the sandbox environment based on configuring the sandbox environment using the system configuration;
• determine, based on analyzing the file in the sandbox environment, whether the file includes malware;
• and
• selectively:
• perform an action to counteract the malware based on determining that the file includes malware, or
• permit the file to be accessed based on determining that the file does not include malware.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a file to be analyzed in a computing environment;
• determining, by the device, file information based on analyzing the file,
• the file information identifying one or more features of a system configuration;
• determining, by the device and based on the file information, the system configuration,
• the system configuration including information regarding:
• a compiler to be used by the computing environment, and
• an operating system to be used by the computing environment;
• configuring, by the device, the computing environment using the system configuration;
• analyzing, by the device, the file in the computing environment based on configuring the computing environment using the system configuration;
• determining, by the device and based on analyzing the file in the computing environment, whether the file includes malware;
• and
• selectively:
• performing, by the device, an action to counteract the malware based on determining that the file includes malware, or
• permitting, by the device, the file to be accessed based on determining that the file does not include malware.
