Abstract

We present how Hyper-V sockets can be used as a real-time communication channel for a malware analysis sandbox. We show that, compared to WinSock TCP sockets, Hyper-V sockets are not subject to TCP/IP-layer blocking and are not enumerated by common TCP connection listing tools. We compare the throughput of the two communication channels as a function of buffer size.
