Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique for debugging and testing potential virus, trojans, and other malware programs. The present invention, named Cyberlock™ provides a technique to analyze malware programs on a network in a secure manner, which allows multiple users to access or monitor the analysis. In the present invention, a virtual machine (VM) may be run on a network, emulating the operation of a Windows, LINUX, or Apple operating system (or other O/S), and the malware or suspected malware may be executed on that virtual machine. The virtual machine is isolated on the network, but accessible to one or more users, in such a manner than the malware or suspected malware may be analyzed.
