## What it is
DRAKVUF Sandbox is an automated, agentless malware analysis system that runs suspicious files inside a hypervisor-level sandbox powered by the DRAKVUF engine. It ships with a web interface for uploading samples and exploring analysis results, plus an installer to simplify setup.

## Use cases
- analyze suspicious files for malware
- set up a self-hosted malware sandbox
- automate malware triage without a guest agent
- inspect behavior of Windows malware samples
- run hypervisor-level malware research

## When to choose
- you need automated, agentless black-box malware analysis on bare-metal or nested virtualization with Intel VT-x/EPT
- you want a web UI to submit samples and review reports
- you are a malware researcher or CERT team running your own sandbox

## When to avoid
- you want a simple turnkey sandbox on cloud VMs (AWS/GCP/Azure unsupported)
- your host lacks Intel VT-x with EPT or uses Hyper-V
- you need a low-maintenance setup - the project warns that running your own sandbox is difficult and debugging-heavy
