Only one letter is required to compromise the entire system. The only well -thought -out message can bypass the filters, deceive the staff and give the attackers the necessary access. He went unnoticed, these threats can lead to the thefts, unauthorized access and even full -scale violations. As the phishing techniques become more eliminated, they can no longer reliably get into automated solutions.
Let’s take a closer look at how SoC teams can provide a quick and accurate detection of even the most eliminated phishing attacks using the Tycoon2FA example that is today in a corporate setting.
Step 1: Download suspicious file or URL in sandbox
Let’s look at the typical situation: Suspicious email denotes your detection system, but it is unclear whether it is harmful.
The fastest way to check it is to run a quick analysis in the sand box malicious program.
The sand box is an isolated virtual machine on which you can safely open the files, press the links and observe behavior without exposing your own system. This is how SOC analysts investigate malicious software, phishing attempts and suspicious activities without causing anything locally.
The start of work is easy. Download the file or insert the URL, choose the OS (Windows, Linux or Android), set up the settings as needed, and for a few seconds you are in a completely interactive virtual machine ready for the study.

| Setting up the analysis inside any. Run Sandbox |
To show how easy it is to find phishing, let’s go through an example of the real world, the potential phishing-electronic message we have analyzed with anyone.

| Phishing-Electronic Mail analyzed inside the cloud-based Any.Run Sandbox |
The suspicious e -mail includes a large green “Play Audio” button, the trick used to drive the victim in pressing.
Set your SOC Fast and In -In -Fisching Service command to answer and prevent incidents in seconds.
Step 2: Come on the full assault chain
With the help of a sandbox, like any.Run, you can drop each stage of the attack, from the first press to the final useful load. Even the younger members of SoC can do it with ease. The interface is intuitive, interactive and built in order to make complex analysis feel simple.
In our example of phishing, we have already seen how the attack began; Suspic E -mail with a large green “Play audio” buried in the subject. But what happens after pressing?
Inside the sandbox we see it clearly:
Once the button is pressed, a number of redirecting (other evasion tactics) will eventually bring us to the CAPTCHA Challenge page. Here, automated tools are not usually obtained. They cannot press buttons, decide CAPTCHAS, or mimic users’ behavior, so they often miss a real threat.
But in any interactive sandbox. You can either decide CAPTCHA by manually or turn on the automatic mode so that the sand box processes it for you. In both cases, the analysis continues freely, allowing you to go to the final phishing page and observe the full chain of the attack.

Once the CAPTCHA is resolved, we are redirected to the fake Microsoft entry page. At first glance, it looks convincing, but a more careful look reveals the truth:
- URL is clearly unrelated to Microsoft full of random characters
- Favicon (browser tab icon) is missing; small but telling the red flag

| Phishing signs found inside any sandbox |
Without an interactive sandbox, these details will remain hidden. But here every step is visible, every step is traced, which facilitates the detection of phishing infrastructure before it cheats on anyone in your organization.
If it goes unnoticed, the victim may unknowingly enter his credentials on the fake entry page, transferring sensitive access directly to the attacker.
By analyzing the sandbox part of your security procedure, your team can check suspicious links or files in seconds. In most cases, any.Run acts with the original sentence in 40 seconds.
Step 3: Analyze and Collect poppy
Once the phishing chain is completely undermined, the next step is the most important for security teams; Collection of compromise (IOC) indicators that can be used to detect, respond and prevent the future.
Decisions, like any. Run, makes this process fast and centralized. Here are some key conclusions from our phishing sample:
In the upper right corner, we see the tree process that helps us to trace suspicious behavior. One process stands out; It is marked with “phishing”, showing exactly where the harmful activity took place.

| Malicious process identified by sandbox |
Below VM window, we can inspect all the HTTP/HTTPS requests on the Network connections tab. This shows the external infrastructure used in the attack: domains, IPS and more.
The “threats” section we see alerts about Suricata: Phishing (Any.run) is suspected of the Tycoon2fa Physhing Domain. This is confirmed by the phishing kit used and adds a useful context to classify threats.

| Rule Suricata caused by Tycoon2fa |
In the upper panel, the tags instantly identify it as a threat associated with Tycoon2fa, so analysts know what they are dealing with at first glance.

Do you need to see all the poppy in one place? Just click the poppy button and you get a full list of domains, hashas, url and much more. No need to jump between the tools or collect data manually.
Then these poppies can be used:
- Block malicious domains across your infrastructure
- Update e -mail filters and detection rules
- Enrich the Intelligence Database threaten
- Response Support to incident and work processes SoC
 |
| The poppy is assembled inside any. |
Finally, any.
This report is ideal for documentation, team transfer or sharing with external stakeholders, saves valuable time while responding.

Why the sand box should be part of your workflow security
The interactive sand helps the teams cut through the noise, quickly exposing real threats and reacting to the incident is more effective.
Decisions, like any.Run, makes this process affordable both experienced teams and those who are just beginning to increase the possibilities of threatening:
- Accelerate the Trial Alerts and the reaction to the incident: Don’t wait for the verdict, watch the threat on the broadcast for faster decisions.
- Increase in detection rate: Passing multi -stage attacks from origin to execution in detail.
- Improve training: Analysts work with live threats, gaining hands -on experience.
- Enhance the coordination of the team: Real -time data exchange and process monitoring among team members.
- Reduce infrastructure service: Cloud sandbox does not require customization; Analyze anywhere at any time.
A special proposal: From May 19 to May 31, 2025 any.Run celebrates its 9th birthday with exclusive sentences.
Provide your team with additional letters on the sandbox and capture the sentences with a limited time through your sandbox, TI search and security training.

Wrap
Phishing attacks become smarter, but their detection should not be difficult. With an interactive sandbox, you may notice threats early, trace the full attack chain and collect all the evidence that your team should respond quickly and confidently.
