A curated collection of password-protected malware samples, malicious documents, and training PCAPs for malware analysis practice. It also includes guided malware analysis exercises with detailed walkthroughs and links to video tutorials.

Use cases

• download malware samples for reverse engineering practice
• find PCAPs of malware network traffic for rule writing
• learn malware analysis with guided exercises
• get maldoc templates for macro analysis training
• study specific families like TrickBot, Emotet, or Lokibot
• practice deobfuscating malicious JavaScript and shellcode

When to choose

• you need real-world malware specimens in a safe lab environment
• you want structured exercises with solutions for learning malware analysis
• you need network captures to practice writing IDS/Suricata rules

When to avoid

• you need production security tooling rather than training artifacts
• you cannot safely handle live malware in an isolated environment
• you need a license-cleared dataset for commercial redistribution
