A curated collection of over 300 live Android malware samples gathered from multiple sources and mailing lists. It serves as a research dataset for malware analysis and detection studies, cited in 50+ academic papers.

Use cases

  • download android malware samples for research
  • build a machine learning malware detection model
  • analyze android malware behavior in a sandbox
  • train and benchmark mobile malware classifiers
  • study android malware families and variants
  • security research dataset for mobile threats

When to choose

  • you need real Android malware samples for detection research or ML training
  • you want a large, community-maintained, academically cited sample collection

When to avoid

  • you need production security tooling rather than raw samples
  • you cannot handle live malware safely in an isolated environment
  • you need a licensed, formally maintained dataset (no license is provided)
