Dynamic malware analysis of a URL using a browser executed in an instrumented virtual machine environment
Various techniques for performing malware analysis of a URL (e.g., a URL sample) using a browser executed in an instrumented virtual machine environment are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system for performing dynamic malware analysis of a URL using a browser executed in an instrumented virtual machine environment includes the instrumented virtual machine environment executed on a processor that receives a URL sample for dynamic malware analysis using the browser executed in the instrumented virtual machine environment; and a dynamic time allocator executed on the processor that dynamically determines a period of time allocated for performing the dynamic malware analysis of the URL sample using the browser executed in the instrumented virtual machine environment, in which the URL sample is rendered using the browser executed in the instrumented virtual machine environment and monitored using the instrumented virtual machine environment for the period of time allocated for performing the dynamic malware analysis of the URL sample.
