Joe Sandbox Desktop generates very detailed analysis reports about system, network, browser and tampering/code manipulation behavior. The report includes evaluations and additional data about strings, domains and file structures. Matching generic signatures highlight suspicious and malicious key behavior. Classification and threat scores help to detect sophisticated cyber-attacks quickly. A context based search enables to quickly navigate.

Joe Sandbox Desktop enables analysis of all executable files (including malicious documents) on Windows W7 x64, Windows 10 x64 and Windows 11 x64.

Joe Sandbox Desktop analyses Office files for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Support for additional Office suites can be easily added.

Joe Sandbox Desktop enables to deeply analyze URLs to detect phishing, drive by downloads, tech scam and more. For phishing detection Joe Sandbox Desktop browses URLs on a real operating system. Joe Sandbox Desktop will follow and click interesting links on webpages.

Joe Sandbox Desktop uses a growing set of over 1640+ generic Behavior Signatures to detect and classify malicious behavior activities such as Exploiting and Shellcode (for malicious documents), Persistence, Boot Survival, Spreading, Data Spying and Leakage and C&C Communication. Behavior Signatures are extendable and customizable and optionally are shared within a community.

With Joe Sandbox Desktop analysts can directly connect to the analysis machine and click manually through complex malware installers or phishing attacks. The remote assistance option is fully embedded in the browser and therefore no additional software has to be installed. Live Data such as behavior, Yara and Sigma signature hits as well as IOCs are shown in real time.

Joe Sandbox Desktop allows to use Yara Rules for advanced malware detection. Joe Sandbox Desktop forwards all samples, downloaded files, resources as well as memory dumps to Yara. In addition Joe Sandbox Desktop features a nice web based Yara Rule editor. Tired of updating Yara rules? Joe Sandbox Desktop enables to automatically synchronize with GitHub repositories contain Yara rules.

Joe Sandbox Desktop allows to use Simga Rules for threat detection. Joe Sandbox currently supports many Sigma events including process_creation and Sysmon. In addition Joe Sandbox Desktop features a nice web based Sigma Rule editor. Tired of updating your Sigma rules? Joe Sandbox Desktop enables to automatically synchronize with GitHub repositories contain Simga rules.

Joe Sandbox Desktop's Hybrid Code Analysis (HCA) engine identifies code functions based on dynamic memory dumps. HCA enables in-depth analysis of malware by understanding hidden payloads, malicious functionality not seen during runtime analysis. HCA results are highly annotated and connected to dynamic behavior information. Through an advanced algorithm, HCA identifies hidden API calls and hidden strings within codes.

Joe Sandbox Desktop generates highly condensed control flow graphs, so called Execution Graphs. Execution Graphs enable to detect evasions against malware analysis systems. Furthermore Execution Graphs allow to rate the behavior by looking at API chains, execution coverage and loops. Joe Sandbox Desktop also includes extensive library code detection.

Joe Sandbox Desktop enables to inspect HTTPS traffic. Similiar to a next generation firewall Joe Sandbox Desktop installs a MITM SSL Proxy which intercepts and analyzes any SSL traffic. This allows to inspect malicious HTTPS C&C traffic which is often used in APTs.

Joe Sandbox Desktop enables to analyze automatically the network data via Suricata and "The Bro Network Security Monitor". Suricata with e.g. Emerging Threats ETOpen/ETPro rules detects malicious IPs, Domains or other network artifacts and Files extracted by Bro are automatically uploaded to Joe Sandbox.

In addition to analysis reports in HTML, XML and JSON formats, Joe Sandbox Desktop captures and generates supplementary data. This includes created files, unpacked PE files, memory dumps, PCAP of the captured network traffic (incl. decrypted HTTPS), screenshots, shellcode and strings.

Joe Sandbox Desktop reports are provided in all relevant export formats, ranging from common data exchange formats (XML, JSON) and document types (HTML, PDF) to malware security standards such as MAEC, CybOX, MISP and OpenIOC. Therefore, Joe Sandbox Desktop reports can be seamlessly integrated with other tools and platforms.

Joe Sandbox Desktop provides a MITRE ATT&CK matrix. With the matrix, analysts can easily compare adversary tactics and techniques. Joe Sandbox Desktop contains over 2580+ behavior signatures which are mapped to tactics and techniques.

Joe Sandbox Desktop allows for seamless integration into existing threat intelligence systems. It has a simple RestFul WEB API which enables file upload, analysis data download, searches, filters, alerts and more. Example scripts in Python allow a fast integration.

Joe Sandbox Desktop is tuned to detect malicious samples with high precision. Extensive tests have shown an average false positive rate < 2% and false negative rate < 6% for PE files. Besides the detection status (clean, suspicious or malicious) Joe Sandbox Desktop generates a detailed confidence score - outlining how certain the system is about the detection.

Joe Sandbox Desktop includes an intuitive web interface with features such as file and URL uploads, cookbook editor, user management and bulk upload/download and mail/syslog notifications.

Joe Sandbox Desktop is built as a modular and scalable system with many settings for advanced tuning. With its open SDK, behavior signatures and cookbooks, it enables performing advanced use cases to serve organizations' specific needs. Joe Sandbox Desktop supports multiple analysis machines with different applications/versions installed.

Joe Security provides excellent services, such as system installations, training, maintenance, customization and expert knowledge as an supplemental package to Joe Sandbox Desktop.
