(Golang) Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion: User Activity Based Checks by Edode

Created the Wednesday 26 April 2023. Updated 11 months, 3 weeks ago.

Description:

The provided code is designed to differentiate between a sandbox environment and a genuine user workspace by monitoring user clicks and idle time. It achieves this by incrementing a click count variable upon detecting a left or right click, and comparing the elapsed idle time to a predefined maximum threshold. If the total number of clicks is below a specified minimum or the idle time surpasses the maximum limit, the code identifies the environment as a sandbox. Otherwise, it recognizes the presence of a legitimate user.

Code

            package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"syscall"
	"time"
)

var (
	user32           = syscall.NewLazyDLL("user32.dll")
	getAsyncKeyState = user32.NewProc("GetAsyncKeyState")
)

func evadeClicksCount() {
	// Increment variable when a click is detected
	var clickCount int
	// Set the minimal number of clicks to be detected
	var minimalClickCount = 10
	// Set the maximum idle time in seconds
	var maxIdleTime = 120
	var t time.Time = time.Now()

	for clickCount <= minimalClickCount {
		leftClick, _, _ := getAsyncKeyState.Call(uintptr(0x1))
		rightClick, _, _ := getAsyncKeyState.Call(uintptr(0x2))
		// Check if a click is detected
		if leftClick%2 == 1 || rightClick%2 == 1 {
			clickCount += 1
			t = time.Now()
		}

		if int(time.Since(t).Seconds()) > maxIdleTime {
			fmt.Println("Sandbox Detected !")
		}
	}
	fmt.Println("Legitimate user detected !")
}

func main() {
	evadeClicksCount()
}
