Welcome to Malware Wiki
What Malware Wiki is, how it's organized, and how it connects to the wider Cyber network.
Published on 1 min read
Malware Wiki is an open encyclopedia of malware families. Each entry reads like a reference page: a fact sheet (the infobox) summarizing identity, timeline, capabilities, attribution, and indicators of compromise — followed by narrative history and notable attacks.
How it's organized
- Malware families — the core entries (Emotet, LockBit, Mirai…).
- Variants — major strains of a family, like LockBit 3.0.
- Types — category hubs (ransomware, banking trojan, worm…).
- Glossary — plain-language definitions (C2, dropper, IOC).
Part of a network
Malware Wiki documents the malware itself. Its sibling sites cover the rest of the picture:
- Cyber Breaches — the incidents, campaigns and threat actors behind real-world attacks.
- Reverse Engineering Hub — teardowns and assembly-level analysis of how the malware works.
We never host malware binaries. Sample links point to vetted external repositories (MalwareBazaar, Malpedia, theZoo) for researchers.
