Do the sandbox VM has to be under the cuckoo host? #2913

Thanks for creating an issue! But first: did you read our community guidelines? https://cuckoo.sh/docs/introduction/community.html

If the Sandbox VM (Windows) is installed under VirtualBox that is the same VirtualBox hosting the cuckoo Host, will it work out? I have only so far read the documentation and unsure if this implementation will work or no... or does the Windows machine has to be inside the cuckoo host's VirtualBox?

Cuckoo can only start Virtualbox VMs that are available on the same user on the system where cuckoo is running. You are not able to start a VM with another VM through the host running Virtualbox.
