System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps users identify repositories that distribute malware while impersonating legitimate security software, preventing accidental downloads, executions, and compromised systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Threat education and indicators: Explains how deceptive branding, suspicious repository signals (e.g., missing docs, dubious licenses), and malicious topic/keyword patterns correlate with malware distribution.
  • Safety-focused guidance: Provides practical alternatives (official vendor sources and safe antivirus workflows) and a checklist for assessing suspicious GitHub repos.
  • Incident response direction: Outlines immediate containment steps, scanning recommendations, and reporting paths if a user has already downloaded something unsafe.

Quick Start
