Testing sandbox authentication mechanism needs to recognize the sandbox interception first, i.e. to recognize the intercepted system function sets by the sandbox. Existing Hook recognition methods and tools mainly focus on the existence of the hook, lacking the ability of recognizing sandbox interception. This study proposes a sandbox interception recognition method based on function injection. The method recognizes the sandbox intercepts testing functions by analyzing the trace of system functions. First, the method injects and executes the system functions in untrusted process to record the function trace. Then, according to the features of intercepted system function trace, the paper designs the address space finite state automata and identifies intercepted system functions by analyzing the trace. Next, the function sets are traversed to identify the intercepted system function sets by target sandbox. Finally, a prototype is implemented—SIAnalyzer, and tested with Chromium Sandbox and Adobe Reader Sandbox. Results show the method proposed is effective and practical.
