DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS BOOK - Use online guides instead
By T. Jones
This book seems like a very rushed product with only thoughts of profit off of a freely shared tool. I plan on writing a more detailed review/complaint to the authors but here are my thoughts:
1) You're better off following the "official" cuckoo configuration guide, which can be found on their webpage, or one of many other freely available guides online. That being said, Chapter 1 of this book (installing cuckoo) is taken almost word for word from the official online guide from the developers of the software. This is a continuing theme throughout the book as most of the other chapters (there's only 5 by the way) are taken from other free sources and can easily be found online.
2) You can't be a complete novice and use solely this book. I'm no Linux/Malware/Programming guru, but I've had plenty of hands on experience with each to make my way. The most difficult part of cuckoo is actually installing the software; between the dependencies, networking and OS you're willing to install malware on, it's a daunting task. Like I said earlier, Ch 1 is about 95% of the online guide. While the online guide is great, it has a few underlying tricks they fail to mention during install and that's ok for a free install guide - not for a published book. I really tried to use this book as my only source to install cuckoo, but I eventually tossed it in favor of the official guide and a few others I found online.
3) Don't expect any new or ground breaking tips. I tried installing cuckoo almost a year ago and that was before I really knew how to handle malware. Now that I've had some experience with it, I was hoping the book at least offered some interesting tips or customizations but once again I was disappointed. The only thing that I could not found somewhere else online was how to configure cuckoo to do PDF reporting. The authors used PDFkit/wkhtmltopdf to generate the reports, so if you know how to install that and know your way around Python, you can easily duplicate the one shining thing I found in this book.
4) There is poor organization throughout the book. It's not uncommon to see the authors reference something as though they have previously talked about it, but in fact it is their first time mentioning it. In some cases it's annoying and in others I think it's down right unacceptable.
5) To me, there are too many operational issues. First of all, they tell you to go to the publishers webpage to download the malware and codes. You go to publishers website and you need to enter in your email address (I don't know about you, but I don't freely give that out). This is for what I believe to be the "code". If you scroll past the email bar, you'll see another link that gives you "updated samples". This is just a blog webpage the authors set up to post information. Why not include this webpage in the book instead of the publishers page?? Worse part is, the malware samples uploaded for Ch 2 are completely live! Granted, this is a malware book and you should expect to see live samples, but the standard to sharing real malware is to at the very least archive it in a ZIP or RAR. That being said, the samples for Ch 5 are not only zipped, they are password protected. This uses your standard password used for sharing samples, but if this is your first exposure to malware, you'll never know the password because I couldn't find it mentioned in the book anywhere. Another issue I found was one of the samples from Ch 2 didn't work (Sality.G.exe) the way the book described it. After looking at the book and the sample downloaded from their blog, the files are not MD5 matches (meaning they are not the same file). Come on...that's just poor practice through and through.
6) There are some (what I believe to be) unnecessary topics. Ch 2 and 3 are completely pointless. Ch 2 goes through 30 pages of submitting multiple files to cuckoo...that's it. No real analysis of what's going on with the sample. It's literally "Here's this command to submit this file. Here's the output in Cuckoo". Ch 3 spends 20 pages on analyzing malware from memory dumps. Yes cuckoo can do memory dumps, but I think this is a more advanced technique. I don't know why the authors decided to focus on this and not other items, such as the many errors you'll run across with installation. The back of the book states you'll use such tools as [list of tools] but most of them are only a two page mention and don't go into any details.
Maybe I had too high of expectations for this book, but after going through it, it's a complete joke. I honestly can't say this enough - do not buy this book. Even with Amazon's great deals on books, I can't suggest this book to anyone unless it's almost free and even then that's only worsening the situation because then the authors think they did a good job. Do yourself a favor, save the money you would spend on this book and use it towards any other malware analysis book (IDA, Practical Malware Analysis, Malware Analyst Cookbook, etc) or even a Python book. After you do that, read the completely, and always will be, free guide online from the cuckoo developers. If for some reason you need more help, just do an online search for other guides.

Thrilling and enjoyable read on how to assess for malware
By A. Zubarev
Malware is modern nightmare for any government, enterprises and even private users. No wonder a lot of resources are drained to fight it. Luckily, for budget minded there are Open Source offerings. One of the standing out of the crowd is Cuckoo, written by a Google intern in Python, it constitutes a complete platform for an efficient fight against malware and has an array of enhanced features to offer as impact analysis, reporting to monitoring authorities and issue remediation.
This Packtbook is probably the only offering currently on the market that covers all the intricacies from installing and configuring Cuckoo to extending its capabilities and improving its efficiency further.
The book does not require any programming knowledge nor any special or advanced IT skills, however the author uses an Ubuntu Linux and Oracle VirtualBox (both are extremely popular lately). The book remarkably dedicates alot of time though setting the whole system up, and this is for a reason - malware analysis requires a special approach, persistence and dedication.
The book covers analysis of various malware types and how to attest each, plus involves secondary open source tools, so be prepared to have plenty of hard drive space and enough CPU power.
Despite I did not follow all of the examples it seems that a person on a project would be more than capable to aquatint results with the product in a few days, so if your organization is starting to embrace on a major malware analysis project than look no further than getting this book.I need to state some images appear too small to be read (as most of the report pages) even on a large screen monitor in a PDF.
Some day I am sure will revisit this excellent book and dedicate more time to experimenting with this remarkable, unique software, I was full of excitement and had lots of fun reading this book, hope you will, too.
I am giving this book a 5 out of 5 rating, but I must admit the book is targeting newcomers to the malware fight front using Cuckoo.

My Review of Cuckoo Malware Analysis
By kellep charles
I had the opportunity to review and conduct some interesting hands-on examples from Packt Publishing’s “Cuckoo Malware Analysis” by Digit Oktavianto and Iqbal Muhardianto. This book was divided into five intuitive chapters consisting of:
Preface
Chapter 1: Getting Started with Automated Malware Analysis
using Cuckoo Sandbox
Chapter 2: Using Cuckoo Sandbox to Analyze a Sample Malware
Chapter 3: Analyzing the Output of Cuckoo Sandbox
Chapter 4: Reporting with Cuckoo Sandbox
Chapter 5: Tips and Tricks for Cuckoo Sandbox
Index
In chapter one, titled “Getting Started with Automated Malware Analysis
using Cuckoo Sandbox” provided information pertaining to malware analysis methodologies, basic theory in Sandboxing and detailed information on installing the Cuckoo Sandbox framework. The process was not easy, but if directions are followed precisely, then outcome should be favorable. In chapter two “Using Cuckoo Sandbox to Analyze a Sample Malware”, the authors discussed the process of starting Cuckoo as well as submitting various malware samples such as MS Word, MS Excel and PDF documents. In addition, examples to submitting malicious URL, binary files and conducting memory forensics were also demonstrated.
Chapter three “Analyzing the Output of Cuckoo Sandbox” and Chapter four “Reporting with Cuckoo Sandbox”, covered using the processing module and analyzing an APT attack. In addition, the process to creating a built-in reports and exporting data report analysis from Cuckoo to another format were covered.
The last chapter, “Tips and Tricks for Cuckoo Sandbox” pertained informative information about hardening Cuckoo Sandbox against VM detection and other interesting tips I was not to concerned about as a novice in the craft of malware analysis.
Overall, I thought the book was well written as a hybrid tool to learning the process of conducting malware analysis. Chapter one, provided the necessary foundation about malware analysis, while the remaining chapter provided detailed instructions to installing, conducting and reporting malware analysis.
I found this text to be very useful and beneficial for anyone task in conducting the process of malware analysis. In addition, I this text would also provide valuable value in academia as a supplemental text or lab manual.
