How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-02. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A curated GitHub collection of malware samples (rogue/PUP, trojans, ransomware, joke programs) archived with passwords for safe storage. It is intended for educational tinkering and security research in controlled environments, not for deployment.

Use cases

  • download malware samples for analysis in a sandbox
  • study how ransomware and trojans behave
  • build a malware analysis lab for learning
  • test antivirus detection against real samples
  • find classic malware specimens for research
  • learn reverse engineering on live malware

When to choose

  • you need real malware specimens for security research or AV testing
  • you want to learn malware behavior in an isolated VM
  • you are collecting historical malware samples for study

When to avoid

  • you lack experience with safe malware handling and isolation
  • you want defensive tooling rather than raw samples
  • you intend to run samples on production or real hardware
