theZoo is a curated repository of live malware samples made publicly accessible for educational malware analysis. It includes a Python console for browsing the encrypted, locked sample database.
Use cases
- download live malware samples for analysis
- study how malware operates in a sandbox
- build detection signatures from real samples
- learn malware analysis hands-on
- research malware families and variants
When to choose
- you need real malware specimens for educational or professional analysis
- you want a curated, indexed collection of malware samples
- you are setting up an isolated malware analysis lab
When to avoid
- you lack experience with safe malware handling and isolated VMs
- you need a sandbox or automated analysis tool rather than samples
- you want a dataset with a clear permissive license
