How to Use the Downloaded Files

Each batch file contains malware samples from a specific day, compressed in a password-protected archive. Follow these steps to safely analyze the samples:

Extract the downloaded .tar.gz file using suitable extraction software.
When prompted for a password, use infected (without quotes).
Each malware sample will be in a separate ZIP file, also password-protected with infected.
Always analyze malware samples in a secure, isolated environment such as a virtual machine.
Some extraction tools may have issues with the AES encryption - if you encounter errors, try using pyzipper in Python.

# Example Python code for extracting samples:

import pyzipper

with pyzipper.AESZipFile('sample.zip', 'r') as zip_file:

zip_file.pwd = b'infected'

zip_file.extractall('output_folder')
