Malarchive

Malware samples - mostly commodity ones - observed in the wild from time to time.

Storing samples in this way just fits my workflow, if you are looking for a real Malware Zoo, well ... this is the wong place for you.

There are a bunch of great platforms and communities out there that are doing an amazing job ... Google is your friend ;)
