Types of Virtual Analyzer Networks

When simulating file behavior, Virtual Analyzer uses its own analysis engine to determine the risk of an object. The selected network type also determines whether submitted objects can connect to the Internet, and if so, which network is used to connect.

Note

Internet access improves analysis by allowing samples to access C&C callback addresses or other external links.

Network Type

Description

No network access

Isolates Virtual Analyzer traffic within the sandbox environment. The environment has no connection to an outside network.

Note

Virtual Analyzer has no Internet connection and relies only on its analysis engine.

Management network

Directs Virtual Analyzer traffic through the management port.

Important

Enabling connections to the management network may result in malware propagation and other malicious activity in the network.

Trend Micro recommends using an environment isolated from the management network, such as a test network with Internet connection but without connection restrictions.

Custom network

Virtual Analyzer connects to the Internet using the eth1 port.
