FLARE-VM is a collection of software installation scripts designed to create and maintain a reverse engineering environment on Windows virtual machines. The tool leverages Chocolatey package management and Boxstarter automation to streamline the setup process for malware analysis and reverse engineering workflows. The system uses Chocolatey's Windows-based Nuget package management, where packages contain PowerShell installation scripts that download and configure specific reverse engineering tools. Boxstarter builds upon Chocolatey to automate software installation and create repeatable, scripted Windows environments. FLARE-VM requires installation exclusively on virtual machines running Windows 10 or later with PowerShell 5 or higher. The virtual machine must have at least 60 GB of disk space, 2 GB of memory, and usernames without special characters. The system requires an internet connection for package downloads and mandates disabling Windows Defender and other anti-malware solutions, preferably through Group Policy settings. The tool addresses the challenge of reverse engineering tool curation by providing a standardized approach to environment setup. It enables security researchers and malware analysts to quickly deploy consistent analysis environments without manual tool installation and configuration processes.
