## What it is
A curated collection of malware samples including ransomware, worms, trojans, spyware, and remote access trojans. It serves as a reference archive for security research, malware analysis, and education.

## Use cases
- download malware samples for reverse engineering practice
- build a malware analysis lab with real specimens
- study historical malware like wannacry and emotet
- train malware detection models on sample binaries
- teach cybersecurity students about malware families
- analyze ransomware behavior in a sandbox

## When to choose
- you need a broad variety of real malware samples in one place
- you are building security research or educational material on malware
- you want well-known specimens like MEMZ or WannaCry for analysis

## When to avoid
- you need production security tooling rather than sample data
- you cannot safely handle live malware in an isolated environment
- you require a licensed, legally vetted dataset for commercial use

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security
- domain: security, reverse-engineering
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: malware-samples, malware-analysis, virus-collection, research-dataset, ransomware, trojan, rat, educational
