Therefore, apart from static analysis, we run the different variants of cryptoviral malware under a controlled sandbox environment comprising different virtual hosts in
VirtualBox. The diagram below in Fig.
Multiple software tools including VMware ThinApp, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Oracle
VirtualBox were evaluated.
Recent work from Priyanka Sharma et al provides Cloud environment using

It covers the leading virtualization products, including Oracle
VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, VMware Horizon, Microsoft VDI, VMware vCloud, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager, and VMware vCenter, and how to install and use them, apply virtualization technology to create virtual data centers that use clusters for high availability, use management software to administer multiple host systems, implement a virtual desktop environment, and leverage cloud computing to build or extend the data center and provide disaster recovery services.
Oracle VM
VirtualBox [5] (formerly Sun
VirtualBox, Sun xVMVirtualBox and InnotekVirtualBox) is a free and open-source hypervisor for x86 computers from Oracle Corporation.
