mwcrawler
=========
mwcrawler .09
=============

mwcrawler is a simple python script that parses malicious url lists from well
known websites (i.e. MDL, Malc0de) in order to automatically download
the malicious code. It can be used to populate malware repositories or zoos.

The latest release of mwcrawler is maintained by and updated Francisco Donoso. The original author is Richardo Diaz:

Currently the script parses the following sources:
- NovCon Minotaur:
http://minotauranalysis.com/malwarelist-urls.aspx
- Malware Domain List:
http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/mdl.xml
- VX Vault:
http://vxvault.siri-urz.net/URL_List.php
- Malc0de:
http://malc0de.com/rss
- Malware Black List:

- Sacour.cn:

- ThreatGlass:

- CleanMX:

- Zeus Tracker:

The downloaded content is stored in /opt/malware/unsorted/ by default, so you
need to create this folder first, or change the source code otherwise.
The downloaded content is stored in /opt/malware/unsorted/ by default.
Sub-folders will be created, based on the magic numbers of the downloaded
content (i.e. PE32, PDF, ZIP). For the sake of simplicity note that the script
splits the file description string and only use the first 'token'.
