REMnux is a Linux-based distribution designed for reverse-engineering and analyzing malicious software. It is a toolkit for examining malicious software and network traffic, and it includes a wide range of utilities for analyzing and dissecting malware.

REMnux is a valuable resource for security professionals and researchers who need to analyze and understand the inner workings of malware in order to defend against it.

Installation

Installing REMnux is way easier that FlareVM. All we need to do is to go to the REMnux official download page and download the OVA file. We can download an VirtualBox OVA file or a general one for any other virtual machine providers i suppose, although i am sticking to VirtualBox – doing the job and free.

The of it is pretty straightforward; after downloading the file, we will import it to our VirtualBox by going to File → Import Appliance. If for some reason you having a hard time, it’s ok! take a look at the Oracle’s official documentation of how to import OVA file.
