Malware Research

Development of a test virus to analyze system access in a fully isolated environment. Built to understand how malware interacts with the file system, processes, and system resources, purely for educational purposes.

Security Python Linux VM Sandbox Malware Analysis
What was studied.

All experiments ran inside a fully isolated virtual machine with no network access and snapshot-based recovery.

Educational context only. This project was developed purely for learning how malware behaves at a low level. All testing took place inside a network-isolated virtual machine. The code was never used or distributed outside the sandbox.
File System Access
Analyzed how the virus traverses directories and modifies files at different permission levels.
Process Behavior
Observed child process spawning and persistence attempts via startup mechanisms.
Isolated Environment
Network-isolated KVM VM with clean snapshots restored before each run.
