A dataset of real malware samples collected from distributed honeypots worldwide, including ransomware like WannaCry and botnets like EternalRocks. Archives are password-protected ('infected') for safe storage and are intended for analysis and reverse engineering.

Use cases

• download malware samples for reverse engineering
• build a malware analysis lab dataset
• train malware detection models on real samples
• study ransomware like wannacry and eternalrocks
• research botnet behavior from honeypot captures
• test antivirus and sandbox detection coverage

When to choose

• you need real-world malware specimens for security research or reverse engineering
• you want samples caught by honeypots rather than curated public dumps
• you are testing detection tools against live threats

When to avoid

• you need a safe or sanitized dataset for teaching beginners
• your environment cannot safely contain live malware
• you expect documentation or tooling rather than raw samples
