Abstract
A method, computer program product, and apparatus for implementing a distributed sandbox is disclosed. The method comprises discovering a machine with sufficient resources to run a virtual machine for a process, starting the process in a virtual machine on the discovered machine, if the virtual machine terminates, discovering another machine with sufficient resources to run a virtual machine for a process, and deciding if the process is benign when the virtual machine is finished. Control of the distributed sandbox is done by utilizing a broadcast network.
