“”REMnux is a lightweight Linux distribution for
assisting malware analysts in reverse-engineering malicious
software.

“REMnux is designed for running services that are useful to
emulate within an isolated laboratory environment when performing
behavioral malware analysis.

“As part of this process, the analyst typically infects another
laboratory system with the malware sample and directs
potentially-malicious connections to the REMnux system that’s
listening on the appropriate ports.”
