Subject: [PEN-TEST] Suspect .EXE Trojan


Hi,

I have a suspect executable that I think may be a Trojan. A
search on the
.exe doesn't return any result with any virus vendor. Are
there any tools
that would allow me to execute the file in isolation and
actually see what's
going on.
If i remember correctly, eSafe had, long long time ago, some
sandbox capabilities. I don't know where does it stands today.

The file was already executed on two workstations
and it killed
Outlook in both cases. I know I can use tripwire and similar
products to see
what files it makes changes to but I don't want to risk
killing outlook
again.
How about disassembling it? Or atleast searching for strings
in it.

Thanks

Anthony Ruso
