## What it is
A collection of lab exercises and live malware samples accompanying the Practical Malware Analysis & Triage (PMAT) course. The repository is organized by course section and provides password-protected archives of real and emulated malware for safe analysis practice in virtual machines.

## Use cases
- learn malware analysis from scratch
- practice static and dynamic malware triage
- get hands-on malware samples for a home lab
- follow along with the PMAT course videos
- train in safe malware handling procedures
- build a reverse engineering skillset for security work

## When to choose
- you are taking or self-studying the PMAT course
- you want free, structured malware analysis labs with real samples
- you have a disposable, snapshot-revertable Windows VM for analysis

## When to avoid
- you lack a safe isolated virtual machine environment
- you need production security tooling rather than training material
- downloading live malware to machines you do not own or control is not acceptable

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, tutorials, education
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: malware-analysis, malware-samples, training-labs, reverse-engineering, course-materials, practical-malware-analysis
