Pandora-box # PandoraBox
============
## Introduction PandoraBox is a USB scanning station designed to detect and remove malware from USB disks. It is based on [Pandora](https://github.com/pandora-analysis) by [CIRCL](https://www.circl.lu) and is distributed under the [GPLv3 license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html).
As the use of USB disks are still prevalent, so has the risk of malware infection through these devices. ## Key Features
Malware can easily spread from one computer to another through USB disks, making it a critical threat to
information security. This is where our USB scanning device comes in.
Pandora-box is designed to detect and remove malware from USB disks. The software is based on [Pandora](https://github.com/pandora-analysis) - Detects USB insertion/removal in real time
from [CIRCL](https://www.circl.lu) and is distributed under [GPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html), - Automatically or manually mounts USB devices
making it freely accessible to security professionals. - Multithreaded scanning using [pypandora](https://github.com/dbarzin/pypandora)
- Automatic quarantine of infected files
- Manual file removal after user confirmation
- Interactive terminal interface (curses) or graphical feedback using images
- Uses well-known malware detection tools:
- [ClamAV](http://www.clamav.net/)
- [Comodo Antivirus](https://antivirus.comodo.com/)
- [Hashlookup](https://circl.lu/services/hashlookup/)
- [Yara Rules](https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base)
The software uses advanced scanning techniques to identify and remove malware from USB disks. It performs a Other malware detection tools can be configured using [Pandora antivirus-workers](https://github.com/pandora-analysis/pandora#antivirus-workers).
comprehensive scan of the disk, analyzing each file for any signs of malicious activity. If it detects any malware,
Pandora-box will quarantine the infected files and remove them from the disk.
## Featues
Pandora-Box is a USB scaning station based on [Pandora](https://github.com/pandora-analysis),
a malware analysis tool.
Pandora-box uses :
- [ClamAV](http://www.clamav.net/) : an open-source antivirus engine for detecting trojans, viruses, malware & other malicious threats.
- [Comodo Antivirus](https://antivirus.comodo.com/) : the free version of Comodo Antivirus.
- [Hashlookup](https://circl.lu/services/hashlookup/) : a public API to lookup hash values against known database of files.
- [Yara Rules](https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base) : the YARA signature and IOC database used by [LOKI](https://github.com/Neo23x0/Loki) and [THOR Lite](https://www.nextron-systems.com/thor-lite/) scanners.
Other tools may be used by configuring Pandora [antivirus-workers](https://github.com/pandora-analysis/pandora#antivirus-workers).
It runs on [Ubuntu 24.04 server LTS](https://ubuntu.com/download/server).

## Roadmap
If you want to contribute, we have a [roadmap](ROADMAP.md).
## Installation ## Installation
The [installation and configuration procedure](INSTALL.md) is documented. PandoraBox runs on [Ubuntu 24.04 server LTS](https://ubuntu.com/download/server).
### Dependencies
- Python 3.8+
- Python modules: `psutil`, `pyudev`, `pypandora`, `curses`, `logging`, `subprocess`
Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install psutil pyudev pypandora
```
### Configuration
Edit `pandora-box.ini` at the root of the project:
```ini
[DEFAULT]
FAKE_SCAN = false
USB_AUTO_MOUNT = true
PANDORA_ROOT_URL = http://localhost
QUARANTINE = true
QUARANTINE_FOLDER = /var/quarantine
CURSES = true
THREADS = 4
```
### Setup & Usage
```bash
python3 pandora-box.py
```
> ⚠️ Run with sufficient privileges to access `/dev/sdX` and monitor udev events.
More details in the [installation guide](INSTALL.md).
## Application States
- `START`: Initialization and config loading
- `WAIT`: Wait for USB insertion
- `SCAN`: Scan device contents
- `CLEAN`: Prompt for infected file removal
- `STOP`: Application ends or error
## Roadmap
If you'd like to contribute, check the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md).
## Architecture
PandoraBox is implemented as a Python class (`PandoraBox`) which handles:
- Configuration parsing
- Device detection with `pyudev`
- File scanning using `pypandora`
- Logging and progress tracking
- Interactive interface handling
## Security and Customization
- Uses a system lock to prevent multiple instances
- Can be integrated with additional tools or security measures
- Easily extendable to new malware detection engines or logging systems
