The Portable Executable (PE) version of the Malimg Dataset is derived by converting the Malimg image PNG sources back into executable files. This dataset provides malware samples represented as executable files, suitable for further analysis and machine learning tasks related to malware detection and classification in cybersecurity research.
To ensure that the files are constructed correctly, the files are verified using VirusTotal and PE inspection tool.
⚠️ Caution: Do not execute/run these files on your systems. These files contain malware and executing them could compromise your system.
- Dataset Name: Portable Executable (PE) Malimg Dataset
- Dataset Source: Kaggle - Malimg Dataset
- Conversion Process: The original Malimg dataset, which consists of malware images (PNG format), has been converted back into Portable Executable (PE) files, making it more applicable for dynamic malware analysis and detection systems.
- Malware Types: Includes a wide range of malware categories, represented in the form of PE files.
- File Format: Executable (.exe) files derived from the original PNG images.
- Size: 1.6GB
- No. Files: 9339 files
This dataset is intended for research purposes only in the fields of malware detection, classification, and analysis. By providing PE files instead of images, it allows researchers to test detection algorithms in a more realistic environment, as executables are typically encountered in real-world scenarios.
This version provides executable files in case you need raw binaries for reverse engineering or further analysis.
