A collection of malicious lab binaries accompanying the book 'Practical Malware Analysis'. The samples are designed as hands-on reverse-engineering exercises targeting Windows XP, with some rebuilt for Windows 7.

Use cases

• practice malware reverse engineering from the Practical Malware Analysis book
• get sample binaries for learning static and dynamic malware analysis
• set up a malware analysis training lab
• find realistic malicious samples for IDA or x64dbg practice
• teach a malware analysis course with matching exercises

When to choose

• you are following the Practical Malware Analysis book and need its lab files
• you want curated, book-aligned samples for learning reverse engineering in an isolated VM

When to avoid

• you need production malware detection tooling rather than training samples
• you cannot provide a safe isolated analysis environment
• you need samples for modern Windows versions, since most labs target Windows XP
