Driving in the Cloud Dataset

Description

The dataset comprises 11,688 malware binaries collected from 500 drive-by download servers over a period of 11 months. In addition to the malware binaries themselves, the dataset contains a database that details when and from where the malware was collected, as well as the malware classification.
More details can be found in the associated paper.

Release Policy

(2016/03/14) Due to the ageing of the dataset (3 years) and the students in this project graduating, we have decided to stop distributing the malware dataset
