Al-Khaser is a proof-of-concept Windows application that demonstrates a wide range of malware anti-analysis techniques, including anti-debugging, anti-VM, anti-sandbox, timing attacks, and code injection. It is intended to stress-test anti-malware systems and verify that analysis environments are properly hidden.
Use cases
- test whether my sandbox solution is detectable by malware
- verify my anti-debugging plugin is effective
- check if my malware analysis VM is well hidden
- stress test antivirus detection of common malware tricks
- demonstrate anti-VM and anti-emulation techniques
- evaluate sandbox evasion via timing attacks
When to choose
- you build or harden sandboxes, VMs, or anti-malware tooling and need a comprehensive test suite of evasion techniques
- you research or teach malware anti-analysis behavior on Windows
When to avoid
- you need a real defensive tool that detects or blocks malware
- you want a cross-platform or non-Windows testing tool
- you lack authorization to run evasion techniques in your environment
