to understand the file system, process and network activities.

Interaction with the Operating System i.e.

whether the malware is an information stealing malware, http bot, spam bot, rootkit, keylogger, RAT etc.

Determine the nature and purpose of the malware i.e.

There are many reasons why we would want to analyze a malware, below to name just a few: Malware analysis is the process of understanding the behaviour and characteristics of malware, how to detect and eliminate it. With new malware attacks making news every day and compromising company’s network and critical infrastructures around the world, malware analysis is critical for anyone who responds to such incidents. Viruses, Trojans, worms, backdoors, rootkits and spyware can all be considered as malwares. Malware is a piece of software which causes harm to a computer system without the owner’s consent.

Since Limon relies on open source tools, it’s easy for any security analyst to setup a personal sandbox to perform Linux malware analysis. It determines the malware’s process activity, interaction with the file system, network, it also performs memory analysis and stores the analyzed artifacts for later analysis. Limon analyzes the malware in a controlled environment, monitors its activities and its child processes to determine the nature and purpose of the malware. It allows one to inspect the Linux malware before execution, during execution, and after execution (post-mortem analysis) by performing static, dynamic and memory analysis using open source tools. Limon is a sandbox developed as a research project written in python, which automatically collects, analyzes, and reports on the run time indicators of Linux malware. Today, there is a need to analyze Linux malwares in an automated way to understand its capabilities.

This has made Linux platform the target for malware attacks, so it becomes important to analyze the Linux malwares. A number of devices are running Linux due to its flexibility and open source nature.
