Elfen is using Docker to analyze Malware, with ELFEN-in-Docker we are creating ELFEN inside a docker. this basically creates the following structure

Main Machine-->ELFEN-in-Docker(HostDocker)-->ELFEN(SANDBOX)-->SandboxedContainer(MalwareRunsHere)

From recursively cloning the main repo nikhilh-20/ELFEN there comes a permission error while cloning rsrc/capa and rsrc/ELFEN_images. I have tried saperately cloning both there repo manually to temporarily fix the permission error while cloning.

Read Dockerfile before running Docker build command. build the image: docker build -f ./Dockerfile interact with container: docker run -it <container-id> /bin/bash

there are further optional things you can do to secure the containers for potential side channel attacks in docker. to harden docker please refer:

RedHat - Hardening Docker containers, images, and host - security toolkit

Docker - Enhanced Container Isolation

OWASP - Docker Security Cheat Sheet

ResearchGate - Docker container hardening method based on trusted computing
