ThreatPursuit-VM is an open-source Windows-based virtual machine distribution from Mandiant preloaded with tools for threat intelligence analysis, threat hunting, and malware triage. It is installed via a PowerShell/Boxstarter script that configures a Windows 10 VM with analytics, visualization, and hunting tooling.

Use cases

  • set up a threat intelligence analysis workstation quickly
  • build a malware analysis VM for threat hunting
  • get a preconfigured Windows VM with MISP, OpenCTI, and Maltego
  • stand up a hunting environment with Jupyter, Elasticsearch, and Splunk
  • customize a Windows security analyst VM with an install script

When to choose

  • you are an intel or malware analyst needing a ready-made Windows tooling environment
  • you want a customizable, scriptable alternative to prebuilt security VM images
  • you need threat hunting tools like MISP, OpenCTI, Maltego, and Splunk in one VM

When to avoid

  • you need a Linux-based malware analysis distribution like FLARE-VM alternatives or REMnux
  • you require actively maintained tooling - the last release was mid-2023
  • you cannot run Windows 10 VMs with 120+ GB disk and virtualization support
