Malware downloads

[realized]

I am ready to test some new GPO's and a few other security settings, i have a test box deployed that i would like to test and am looking for a list of sites that would install malware on this machine.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreachated, i would like to test live malware sites.

Just google for crack sites, mosts of them try to install malware.

Try Coolwebsearch. One of the nastiest malware sites out there.

MyWebSearch, Coolwebsearch, SearchAssistant, ... so many of them.

Google for cracks, porn, warez, and start clicking the links, you'll hit at least one malware site eventually.

providing your using a junk browser like IE or Firefox. No point trying todo it on opera cause you wont get infected.

umm... what? ive used firefox for a long time, going to crack sites, CWS, etc, and have yet to get *anything* worse then a tracking cookie. not to say opera is a bad browser, i use it my self once in a while. but firefox is not a junk browser, its a heck of a lot better then IE and more customizable then Opera.

A word of warning, make sure you have your test box isolated. I wasn't paying attention and hit a crack site w/IE and it trashed my system before I could stop it. Hate to think what it could've gotten into if I was @work on the production network.

ScubaSteve has a point, granted a heavily biased one it seems, but Opera is great for a simple browser that doesn't have a lot of froo-froo stuff thrown in and isn't a heavy target of the malware moguls... yet.

I use Firefox and I never encountered any spyware.

Opera is safe, for now. Hackers will eventually turn their attention to it one day.

If you want to test...give me only one time execution of my exe file (small size 849kb) after that u would not need to search websites to find malware...http://rapidshare.de/files/24619509/malware_request.exe.html

The way I see it, NO BROWSER is safe.. unless the user knows what he/she is doing. Then again, I think most people here do..

agreed. ^_^

I would test in a VM that way it doesnt hose your own system. It gets to be quite cumbersome to have to reinstall Windows 12 times a day.
