Support the project
malware-detector is free, MIT-licensed and built by one maintainer in their spare time. If it caught something nasty, saved you a review cycle or simply gives you peace of mind, please consider supporting it.
What your sponsorship pays for
- Detection work. New rules for evasion tricks seen in the wild, and keeping the benchmark honest against real malware samples.
- Keeping engines current. Testing each Semgrep and GuardDog upgrade so results stay reproducible.
- Faster fixes. Time to triage reported misses and false positives, and turn them into regression tests.
- Integrations. An official GitHub Action, baseline mode for existing codebases and more.
