Multi-Stage Delayed Execution & Anti-Evasion Studio

Pillar 10: 6-Stage Sandbox

Overcomes time-delayed sleep bombs, human interaction gating, and reflective in-memory injection via kernel time-warp and Volatility carving.

Target Delayed Sample:

STAGE 1

Static Pre-Screening & Header Triangulation

0.2s4 findings

STAGE 2

Initial Detonation (0-60s Baseline)

60.0s2 findings

STAGE 3

Extended Execution & Sleep Acceleration (24h Fast-Forward)

1.2s (24h simulated)5 findings

STAGE 4

Interaction-Triggered Analysis (Simulated Human)

0.8s3 findings

STAGE 5

Deep Memory Dumping & Volatility Carving

1.4s4 findings

STAGE 6

Multi-Stage Behavioral Correlation & Synthesis

0.4s6 findings

Kernel hooks on NtDelayExecution & QueryPerformanceCounter simulate 24-hour passage in 1.2s.

Status: COMPLETED (1.2s (24h simulated))

[+] CERBERUS STAGE 3 EXECUTION TELEMETRY LOGS

-----------------------------------------------------------------

[+] CERBERUS Time-Warp Hook engaged on NtDelayExecution (Hook ID #401)

[+] Accelerated virtual clock by 86,400,000ms in 1,200ms real execution time

[+] Malware sleep expired! Secondary payload unpacked into heap memory

[+] Dropped secondary stager: C:\Users\Victim\AppData\Local\Temp\stager_x64.dll

[+] Decrypted C2 configuration strings using hardcoded XOR key 0x2E

Anti-Evasion Techniques Defeated in Stage 3:

🛡️ 24-Hour Sleep Bomb Defeated🛡️ GetTickCount64 Clock Skew Bypass

Anti-Evasion Sandbox Controls

⚡ Time-Warp Clock Skew Multiplier86,400x Speed

Accelerates NtDelayExecution and GetTickCount64 so 24-hour sleep loops finish instantly in 1.2s.

Synthetic Human Activity Trigger

Injects realistic Bézier mouse trajectories, document scrolling, and clicks on hidden anti-sandbox dialogs.
