Ansible Playbook to install and configure Cuckoo Sandbox

This playbook was created for the support of ENISA CERT Trainings.

The playbook is tested on Ubuntu 14.04 x64. Based on ansible playbook structure three distinct roles, as described below, are defined:

  • Cuckoo: This role downloads cuckoo version 1.2 from official github repository and installs required dependencies.
  • Virtualbox: This role adds the official virtualbox ppa repository for Ubuntu and installs virtualbox.
  • Web: This role configures nginx web server and gunicorn in order to serve the cuckoo web application.

To install cuckoo on a local virtual machine clone this repo and issue the following commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible && apt-get update
sudo apt-get –y install git ansible 
git clone https://github.com/ezeteze/ansible-cuckoo
cd ansible-cuckoo
sudo ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --connection=local

Windows XP guest machine is used to analyse malware samples. The installation is done automatically using VMCloak .

The following configuration changes are needed before starting up cuckoo for analysis:

  • Windows XP x86 ISO image: Place the windows XP image under /home/cuckoo/winxp3.iso. Naming and path are case sensitive and defined in file /usr/local/bin/cuckoo at line 41.
  • winxp3.conf: This is the VMCloak configuration file. It is placed under /home/cuckoo/cuckoo-1.2/conf/winxp3.conf. Edit the file and provide a valid serial key for the Windows XP installation. Additionally depending on the host machine edit the hostonly-adapter accordingly.

When finished copying the ISO image and have done the required changes on the configuration file you need to start cuckoo for the first time in order to automatically create the Windows XP guest machine. This can take up to an hour depending on your host machine. To start cuckoo change to user cuckoo and issue the following command:

cuckoo start

When the process has finished you should see a message similar to the following:

cuckoo@ubuntu:~$ cuckoo start
Since this is the first run, will now create the VM..
