First off, thank you for taking the time to contribute to theZoo.
The following is a set of guidelines as how to contribute, be it by Pull requests or by opening tickets and raising issues. Use your best judgment and feel free to propose changes to this document as well.
Before creating bug reports please check the bugs section on GitHub. It might already be there... When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possible. General bug openings with 'this does not work' are probably just going to be closed as they are impossible to triage.
Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
- Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the problem.
- Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as possible.
- Include system information (Python version, OS version, etc.).
- Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.
DO NOT open bugs for malware not executing unless you are confident that the file itself is broken. Some malware won't run in virtualization, some have anti debugging and some are DLLs. We can always recommend more information on the topic such as this wonderful book. But theZoo's bug tracking system is not a support channel.
Please see prep_file.py to assist you in creating the directory you need. However, this will not fill out the database. You can use any of the SQLite3 editors out there to add it to the database [conf/maldb.db]. Make sure you are accurate about your description, tags and info. The reliability and accuracy of the database is the main purpose for the existence of theZoo. Without a credible database this is just another malware dump.
Edit the database and remember that file paths are case sensitive.
Similar to Reporting Bugs section. Please be descriptive. What exactly it is that you would like and what is the workflow you are seeing. The more descriptive you are the more likely it is for others in the community to vote for this and we will know to prioritize it.
