Hello All,
 
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the FireEye Web
Malware Protection System, comments, criticisms etc.

If you talk to competitors like Damballa, they'll make arguments about
50% or more of modern botnets are VM aware, and won't run in
virtualized environments, and claiming by extension, that
virtualization-based analysis platforms like fireeye would not see
this behavior on such malware, whereas their approach using traffic
analysis, and [things I forget at the moment] would.

I'd take it all with a grain of salt and would do a proof of concept
first of course, but it is one criticism path to bark down.

Best Regards,
