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
