Chapter 4. Reporting with Cuckoo Sandbox

In previous chapters, you may have seen the reports after all the processing done by Cuckoo. By default, Cuckoo has several reporting formats, such as human-readable format, MAEC (Malware Attribute Enumeration and Characterization) format—a standard language developed by MITRE—and the ability to export a data report to another format. This chapter will describe more about reporting modules in Cuckoo, such as how to:

  • Create a built-in report in HTML format

  • Create a MAEC report

  • Export data report analysis from Cuckoo to another format

By the end of this chapter, we will learn how to make a malware analysis report using Cuckoo Sandbox reporting tools. We will also learn how to export the output data report to another format for advanced report analysis.
