Advice Request Malware hunt & removal training platforms

[Fumerol_X]

Hello guys !

First of all, I looked for something related to this on the forum and didn't find anything unfortunately and if it's not the correct forum feel free to move it

I'm looking for somewhere I can practice / learn with intentionaly infected VM. I found this series of 3 rooms on THM but that's all TryHackMe | Cyber Security Training

I was wondering if you know another platform I could practice more investigation / analysis / hunt / removal ?

Or if you have any tips, like building my own VM (in a separate LAN of course ) and download malware to execute on it to understand how they work, how they hide, etc ... Any guides or walkthrough are also appreciated

Thanks and enjoy your Sunday

Some good malware analysis platforms are:

1. AnyRun

2. Intenzer Analyze

3. FileScan.io

4. Triage

5. Hybrid Analysis

I think AnyRun is just what you are looking for if I understood you correctly.

Otherwise use VMware Workstation Player or Oracle Virtual Box and make sure that you are connected to your guest network while also being connected to a VPN of your choice. There is of course more to take a look at, but I think you should find quite a few videos on youtube on how to secure your VM as much as possible.

Check this out for building your own Lab:

I do not know of any good training platform for malware analysis yet that is also affordable.
Maybe hextree.io will develop into that. Keep an eye out on that one.
I am also currently working on a course. But it all needs time.
