Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent years, malware sandbox appliances that dynamically analyze target files are becoming popular. However, malware that reveal malicious activities only on the target machine are emerging. Previous studies have shown attacks that evade sandbox analysis by first implanting identifiers into the target machine and later sending malware that works only in environments where identifiers exists. In this study, we envision a new threat where attackers abuse Email address stored in the target machine.
We demonstrate that 13 famous desktop applications store Email address in 17 different configuration and/or log file.
We further test dummy samples that search for Email address with commercial sandbox appliances and explain that sandbox evasion is successful. Therefore, we informed security vendors with details of the attack scenario, in order to protect against potential adversaries in the future.
