Checking Specific Folder Name

Created the Monday 11 March 2019. Updated 2 weeks, 1 day ago.

Specific directories, such as "C:\Cuckoo", can serve as indicators of a sandboxed or virtualized environment when present on a guest system. Consequently, a savvy piece of malware could potentially use the detection of this particular directory as a means of evading analysis. This would allow the malicious software to alter its behavior or even halt its execution altogether when it identifies such markers, thus skirting the sandbox and avoiding detection.
