✨ MalwareRepository ✨

⚠️ Disclaimer

One of the malware collections on GitHub is this repository. I strongly recommend that you do not open any of the samples here on your host computer, as they are all dangerous and malicious. ❌ These samples should NOT even be used for pranking your friends. Playing with these samples may lead to irreversible consequences, such as:

• Loss of personal data 💾
• Exposure of passwords 🔒
• Compromise of credit card information 💳
• Damage to your computer/laptop 🔧

⛔️ Important:

If you want to test these samples, then please test them on a safe environment like a virtual machine 💻. Follow these precautions:

• Do not use shared folders. ❌
• Disconnect your internet in the virtual machine to prevent the malware from spreading to your host PC or even your local network. 🦠

I am not responsible for any damage caused by your negligence or improper handling of this repository. 🚫

🔧 Suggested Hypervisors (for Windows users):

• VMWare
• VirtualBox

📘 Nomenclature and Sample Formats

Most of these samples are auto-generated (downloaded from internet, of course) and named automatically through Python (private scripts, not included). To load any sample, you must rename it to its appropriate extension. This helps prevent accidental execution of malware. 🚀

🔧 Original Extension	🎨 New Extension
.exec	.exe
.dllc	.dll
.comexec	.com
.ahkc	.ahk
.swf.exec	.swf
.jsc	.js
.xlsc	.xls
.batc	.bat
.sysx	.sys

🗎 Notes:

1. If there are .7z or .zip files, extract them as they might contain dependencies required by the malware.
2. Some files are compressed into parts (identification: .7z.001, .7z.002, etc.) due to GitHub's 25MB file size limit. Extract them completely to ensure proper functionality of malware.

🔓 Before downloading any malware

• Disable your antivirus software (e.g., Avast, Windows Defender) as it will flag all malware in this repo. 🩸
• To mitigate issues with AV detection, I can encrypt the malware files with a password before uploading to the repository. Some AVs may still flag encrypted files, but changing the password can help at most times.
