Malware Detection Dataset Metadata (No Raw Data)
This repository is a metadata-only reproducibility companion for the malware detection project.
It does not include raw dataset rows, binaries, or redistributable source files.
What this repo includes
feature_schema.json: schema of the 22 numeric PE-header features and target mapping used in the projectdownload_from_source.py: utility script that downloads the original source archive from the upstream repository- citation and provenance notes for reproducibility
What this repo excludes
- raw source dataset rows
- malware binaries or executable payloads
- train/test split files used in the project repository
- any personal/sensitive data
Provenance
- Source dataset name: Brazilian Malware Dataset
- Upstream repository:
https://github.com/fabriciojoc/brazilian-malware-dataset - Upstream archive URL:
https://github.com/fabriciojoc/brazilian-malware-dataset/raw/master/brazilian-malware.zip
Redistribution and licensing note
At publication time, the upstream dataset repository does not expose a standalone LICENSE file.
Because redistribution rights are not explicitly verified here, this repository intentionally publishes metadata only. Use the upstream source directly and verify legal permissions before redistributing any raw data.
Citation
If you use the source dataset in your work, cite:
Ceschin, F., Pinage, F., Castilho, M., Menotti, D., Oliveira, L.S., and Gregio, A.
The Need for Speed: An Analysis of Brazilian Malware Classifiers.

DOI: 10.1109/MSEC.2018.2875369
Intended use
- Reproducibility reference for feature schema and project documentation
- Educational demonstration of static PE-header malware classification workflow
Limitations
- No direct model training can be performed from this repository alone
- Does not establish legal permission to redistribute the source dataset
- Feature names are project-specific and may not match all upstream variants
Safety
This repository intentionally avoids hosting malware binaries and raw source rows. For security and legal compliance, obtain data only from original providers and follow applicable laws and institutional policies.
