23 Malware Sample Sources For Researchers and Reviewers

If you are not a malware researcher or an antivirus/anti-malware reviewer, please don't think that this article is not for you. You can use this knowledge to evaluate an antivirus app especially if you don't trust the online reviews. But I don't recommend that to the novice users.

Note: If you are going to use the malware samples to test your antivirus, do that in a virtual machine.

Here is the list of best malware sample sources:

• Contagio Malware Dump

• KernelMode.info

• Malshare

• Malware.lu’s AVCaesar

• Malware DB

• Malwr

• Open Malware

• Virusign

• VirusShare

• Malware Domain List

• Malwaredb Malekal

• Scumware
