Upload URLs for analysis using Intelligent Sandbox web interface

Prev Next

You can upload the URLs using two different options based on their requirements.

Make sure that the required analyzer profile is available with sandbox and Enable Malware Internet Access options selected.

These options are available for manually uploading URLs:

  • URL—The selected URL is sent to the analyzer VM, and the file pointed to by the URL is downloaded to the analyzer VM for analysis. For example, when a user submits the URL http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe, the URL is sent to the analyzer VM, then the putty.exe file is downloaded to the analyzer VM.

  • URL Download—The selected URL is downloaded to the Intelligent Sandbox. The file which the URL is pointing to is downloaded locally in the Intelligent Sandbox and the downloaded file is then sent to the static analyzers and the analyzer VM for analysis. For example, when a user submits the URL http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe, the putty.exe file is downloaded to the Intelligent Sandbox, then sent to the analyzer VM.

When you use the Intelligent Sandbox web interface to submit a URL for analysis, select an analyzer profile. This analyzer profile overrides the default analyzer profile associated with your user account.
