You are a cybersecurity analyst who has isolated a suspicious Windows executable on an employee workstation. What is the primary way you would use Joe Sandbox to determine whether the file is malicious?
Submit the executable to Joe Sandbox so it automatically recreates the developer's original source code for you to review line by line.
Submit the executable to Joe Sandbox so it performs only a quick, signature-based scan without ever running the program.
Submit the executable to Joe Sandbox so it disinfects the file by replacing malicious code with a clean copy from its repository.
Submit the executable to Joe Sandbox so it can run in a controlled virtual machine and log all system and network behavior for analysis.
The analyst would upload the executable to Joe Sandbox so it can run inside an isolated virtual machine and observe the program's behavior in real time. During execution Joe Sandbox records process creation, file and registry changes, network traffic, and other system interactions, then correlates the results with behavior signatures to produce a detailed report. Because the file is executed only inside the sandbox, the host environment remains safe. Techniques such as static analysis and signature matching complement-but do not replace-the dynamic execution that is the sandbox's core function. Options describing source-code recovery, signature-only scanning without execution, or automatic file repair are not how Joe Sandbox is typically used.
