$git clone https://github.com/BlackSnufkin/LitterBoxA self-hosted payload-analysis sandbox for red teams. Upload a sample, run static / dynamic / EDR analysis against it, get a Detection Score and a triggering-indicators breakdown — decide whether the payload is field-ready before it leaves the lab.

| 13 | A self-hosted payload-analysis sandbox for red teams. Upload a sample, run static / dynamic / EDR analysis against it, get a Detection Score and a triggering-indicators breakdown — decide whether the payload is field-ready before it leaves the lab. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | LitterBox can also dispatch payloads to a separate EDR-instrumented Windows VM (Elastic Defend or Fibratus) and pull the correlated detection alerts back into the results page. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | > While designed primarily for red teams, LitterBox is equally useful for blue teams running the same tools in their malware-analysis workflows. |

| 35 | ## Installation |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ### Windows |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ```bash |
| 40 | git clone https://github.com/BlackSnufkin/LitterBox.git |
| 41 | cd LitterBox |
| 42 | python -m venv venv |
| 43 | .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 |
| 44 | pip install -r requirements.txt |
| 45 | python litterbox.py # add --debug for verbose logging |
| 46 | ``` |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Open `http://127.0.0.1:1337`. Requires Python 3.11+ and an admin shell. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ### Linux (Docker) |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ```bash |
| 53 | git clone https://github.com/BlackSnufkin/LitterBox.git |
| 54 | cd LitterBox/Docker |
| 55 | chmod +x setup.sh |
| 56 | ./setup.sh |
| 57 | ``` |
| 58 | |
| 59 | The setup script provisions a Windows 10 container with KVM and runs LitterBox inside. Initial build takes ~1 hour. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | - **Install monitor**: `http://localhost:8006` |
| 62 | - **RDP**: `localhost:3389` (creds in the docker compose file) |
| 63 | - **LitterBox UI**: `http://127.0.0.1:1337` once setup completes |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ### EDR setup (optional) |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Drop one or more profile YAMLs under `Config/edr_profiles/` and the upload page picks them up at boot. Full walkthroughs in the wiki: [Whiskers Agent](../../wiki/Whiskers-Agent) → [Elastic Defend Setup](../../wiki/Elastic-Defend-Setup) or [Fibratus Setup](../../wiki/Fibratus-Setup). |
