The Cult of the Dead Cow starts community based web application for malware analysis Posted on 08 August 2006. The Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc), a prominent technology activist group, announced a new application designed to collect, analyze, and ultimately help defeat malicious software. Accessible via OffensiveComputing.net, the application gives programmers and end-users free access to a library of over 31,000 hostile software files, including viruses, rootkits, spybots, worms, etc. Users can upload an unknown or suspicious file into the library, request a match, and instantly obtain information on the malicious file, including an analysis of how it operates. http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=4120
