🦀 Have you been noticing that over the past two years, there seems to be more and more malware written in Rust? Have you ever wished there was one page that collected all these malware families and samples in one place, so that you could practice your Rust reverse engineering?

Here is that place! The Rust Malware Sample Gallery: https://github.com/cxiao/rust-malware-gallery

I have collected information about every Rust malware family that I could find, and scoured public malware repositories to find at least one public sample that is available for each family. Download links are provided for each sample to MalShare or Malware Bazaar, neither of which require an account for you to download the samples.

I hope that this can help reversers get a better understanding of Rust binaries, and improve the state of the art in Rust malware reversing. We have a long way to go 😅

Please send a pull request if you notice something is incorrect or missing! Happy reversing!

Quenitin Shaw (Guardian Letters) makes a simple but powerful point about one of the reasons behind the domination of English as the world's shared second language or 'lingua franca';

English is easy to speak badly but still conveys an approximation of meaning - its flexibility and tolerance for formal errors is its strength.

Its a simple point, well-made & makes simple sense of a global phenomena
