ANY.RUN announced the launch of Smart Content Analysis, an advanced mechanism within its Automated Interactivity feature that enables the service to automatically detonate complex malware and phishing attacks, helping users speed up their investigations and gain in-depth insights into malicious behavior.

About Smart Content Analysis

Smart Content Analysis is a mechanism that allows the ANY.RUN sandbox to execute multi-stage cyber attacks without any user involvement. It does this by following three main steps:

Detonating a Multi-Stage Attack with Automated Interactivity

The system automatically opens the .eml file submitted by the user via Outlook, detects a PDF attachment, and scans its contents.

Inside the PDF, it identifies a QR code, instantly extracts the embedded URL, and opens it in a browser.

When faced with a CAPTCHA challenge, commonly used to evade detection, the feature successfully solves it and moves on to the next stage of the attack.

Eventually, it successfully reaches the final phishing page, not only ensuring complete detection of the attack, but also providing additional context on the threat at hand.

Adaptive to New Threats

ANY.RUN's Smart Content Analysis is built to adapt to the changing threat landscape. With regular attack scenario updates from the ANY.RUN threat research team, the system remains aligned with emerging attack methods, allowing it to handle even the latest and most evasive threats.
