Advice Request Virtual Machines for malware analysis?

Are there any virtual machine images out here that come with tools pre-packaged for malware analysis? What kind of setups are you guys using if not?

I don't think so, however you can setup your testing environment and then duplicate the VM as well as taking snapshots before starting the test.

I think it would be better if you shared your VM setup so that people can recommend other tools that your VM environment is missing.

Offensive Security curates a Kali Linux virtual machine. There are malware analysis tools installed on it.

Yup, Kali Linux is setup for this.

Haven't done malware analysis in years. I have an old Windows 7 setup that I need to upgrade so I'm basically starting from scratch.
