Malware Analysis is for the (Cuckoo) Birds - Working with Proxmox

This post is a step-by-step operational guide for configuring Cuckoo Sandbox to work with Proxmox VE. It covers Proxmox installation, required packages (proxmoxer, requests, qemu/kvm and related tools), creating a bridged VLAN for analysis traffic, creating and populating proxmox.conf, modifying Cuckoo's config and adding a proxmox machinery module, example proxmoxer API calls, and practical tips (e.g., handling the Proxmox subscription nag). The content focuses on deployment and integration details rather than describing a security incident or threat.
