Anti-Malware — entry 005 of 15
MalDatabase
MalDatabase distributes daily-refreshed malware datasets and threat-intelligence feeds — file hashes, behavioral sandbox data, and contacted-domain lists — for use in research and machine-learning training sets. A live call to its real download host, api.maldatabase.com/download, with an Authorization header returned a plain-text 400 error rather than a CORS-enabled response, reconfirming API-key auth over HTTPS and resolving cors to no. Its published plans run from a free 50-samples/day researcher tier up to a $49.99/month Unlimited plan covering 2,000–2,500 samples/day.
