The following repository is one of the few malware collections on GitHub. Almost every sample here is malicious, so you should neither execute them on real hardware, nor «prank» your friends by infecting them — it's a cybercrime. Incorrect use of the samples provided may lead to irreversible damage, such as personal data leaks, device inoperability, data loss, and much, much more.
❗ The owner and contributors are NOT RESPONSIBLE in any shape or form for any damage inflicted by the negligent use of samples stored in the repository, users must take necessary precautions prior to executing the samples.
Most people claim «malware samples aren't toys», but I believe game is a form of active learning, and it's important to be cybersecurity educated. Tinkering with malware in a controlled environment with necessary precautions taken is fun! 😉 People who think otherwise must simply be afraid of it. Nevertheless, it's still recommended to have advanced computer knowledge before dealing with malware in general. Any type of educated question is welcome, but belongs to the issues. Submit an issue and have me answer it some time later.

This is a list of people who really helped the repository grow over time:
The malware repository might not be the largest, and even though I don't have much time to collect malware anymore, I'm trying my best! 😄
The password for every archive in the repository is mysubsarethebest verbatim!
The following table shows an approximate ratio of malware type present in the repository.
| Malware type | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Rogue/PUP | 40% |
| Malicious website | 20% |
| Joke | 15% |
| Trojan | 10% |
| Ransomware | 10% |
| Custom-made | 5% |
❓ The archive is password-protected. What's the password?
💡 The password is mysubsarethebest verbatim. In fact, you probably scrolled past it without noticing...
❓ I am 100% sure I did not mistype the password when opening/extracting the archive, however it still doesn't accept the password, what's the deal?
💡 Check for any mistakes once again to be 101% sure, and if the issue is indeed on my side (we're all human!), do notify me by creating an issue! I will make sure to reupload the sample with the right password.
❓ The sample I absolutely loved you reviewed on YouTube isn't in this repository, why's that?
💡 The malware series are back, although I cannot guarantee the presence of every sample reviewed on my channel. Create an issue if you don't find a sample you really want, I (or my moderator) will help you shortly after. But please, please don't spam with your requests in issues. Send them to my mailbox. (mentioned in the 4th question)
❓ Can I contribute to your malware database? If yes, how?
💡 Of course. You can send malware submissions directly to my mailbox! The malware you made yourself has to be well made and well thought-through, it has to be original and have artistic value. Only the cream of the crop will be reviewed and uploaded into this repository.
❓ WHERE IS SOLARIS?
💡 The original creator of the malware nikitpad does not want the sample to be shared online. I respect her decision, and so should you. Please don't be a leech and bother me or her about Solaris.
You can contact me by sending an e-mail: [email protected] or via Twitter.
