Malware Showcase

<img align="middle" src="

This repository contains explanatory examples of malicious behavior like _file infection_ or _remote code execution_. It's supposed to demonstrate and explain
the nature of malicious software with practical examples in Python.

Note: _This repository contains examples of malicious files. It should be used for educational purposes only. Usage of files in this repository for any other purpose might cause you legal issues, e the provided examples are very simple. It is advised to follow the instructions._

Showcase structure

File infector - This kind of malware infects other files. Common example of such behavior is _code injection_. Malicious code is injected into targeted files and might be later executed. This allows the file infectors to spread. The purpose of their payload might differ, from harmless to destructi.

Trojan (trojan horse) - This kind of malware tries to look like a legitimate software and the malicious activity is hidden from the . Common example of such behaviour is _spying on . Trojans can be more precisely classified by a purpose of the malicious segment. They were named after the Greek story, in which the city of Troy has accepted a statue of wooden horse as a gift from their enemies, while the enemy soldiers were hidden inside.

Worm - This kind of malware tries to spread on the network and does not need a host file to spread. Worms might contain malicious payload and execute commands on the compromised systems or just consume the network bandwidth to jam the communication.

Spyware - This kind of malware tries to spy on the and steal his or her data. There exist ways of spying on the , for example scanning the pressed keys on the keyboard. In comparison with the trojan horse, spyware stays often hidden from the sight of the .

- Simple keylogger in Python (with explanation)

Ransomware - This kind of malware tries to encrypt your files or e your access to the system until a financial ransom is paid. It might continuously remove your files to increase the threat and force you to submit. Ransomwares became very popular in the recent years.

Adware - This kind of malware tries to aggressively show ads to the . Usually it is just an annoying software that does not have any harmful intentions. Adware might try methods to make the ad more persistent.

Dropper - This kind of malware attemps to download or dump malicious code to the target system. The malware can be secretly embedded in the dropper itself or downloaded from a remote server. It often tries to avoid detection by obfuscation and encryption.

Installation

Make sure that you ha Python3, system package python3-dev and Python package wheel.

To setup a en, run the following command:

Or you can install required Python packages listed in requirements.txt on your own.
If something goes wrong during the installation, the script should provide you information
about possible failures. You can then focus on the problematic steps in setup_env.sh and
fix the problem.
