Sandbox technology provides an isolated virtual environment for running potentially unsafe code without affecting other systems. Cybersecurity researchers use sandboxes to analyze suspicious code from attachments and URLs by observing its behavior. Sandboxes execute malicious code to analyze it without giving it access to critical infrastructure. This allows researchers to understand malware and stop threats before they spread globally. There are different types of sandbox implementations including emulating an actual device, emulating the target operating system in a virtual machine, or using a fully virtualized environment isolated from physical resources. Sandboxes monitor runtime actions like files, processes, registry keys, network connections, and transmitted data to analyze malware characteristics in a controlled environment.
