I use, which has about 5.6 million samples. You will need to request access, but I just explained the research I was doing (as a person unaffiliated with any organisation) and they let me in. Your question mentioned downloading in bulk. The site says: Want more than a few samples? Want to download really large samples of malware?
Want to download almost the entire corpus? The site provides torrents, each consisting of over 100k samples (ranging in size from 13GB to 85GB). Each torrent is a single zip file. You can also download individual files, but if you don't want to download them in bulk, you may be better off looking at one of the other excellent answers. There is also the option of putting out your own HoneyPot to capture live malware.
This does take a bit of effort and some resources (purchasing Internet addressable IP address). However, the advantage of this method is that you are virtually guaranteed to capture malware that are actively being used currently in the wild. There is the possibility that you might hit a jackpot and also get infected with a brand new malware that might even exploit 0-day vulnerabilities. This approach is very helpful for people who are already well-versed in the field of reversing. I have used Dionaea () in the past to set up my own honeypot with very good results. It's replete with instructions, background, and references.
For beginners and for people who don't want to put too much effort gathering samples, I would advise taking the route of downloading the malware from the sites the other posters have indicated. There are a couple options when it comes to getting samples for analysis. Scraping This one is extremely common and is what is used by a lot of researches to build sample databases. Recommendation: You could build your own scraper of common sources or build upon ones like: Malware Farms Other researches will at times allow access to their collections. An example of this is malware.lu Recommendation: Try requesting access to malware.lu and similiar repos.
Check the list at the bottom for more. This is a great way to get access to a lot of samples fast. Honeypots Researchers can use server and client side honeypots to try and collect malware. Recommendation: Checkout for a server side honeypot. These are great for collecting self propagating malware. Checkout for a client side honeypot. Manually You can browse the shady portions of the internet and look for samples yourself.
This is pretty much the standard list of sample sources: Each one of the above samples has its own pros and cons. Recommend you play with each to find out which produces what you need.
