Estimated release date is January 2011.
With the help from our devoted supporters, there were more than 400GB of packed malware collected.

P.S. I am even a bit concerned on how to work with such huge amounts of data (since the HDDs on the new server are connected in RAID1, there is not much space left ;-)

Update (2011-01-25): The release most likely would be delayed
The server has ran out of space. I would split the mirror to keep the incoming files,
but I have no space for unpacking and sorting. You could speed up an issue by
donating money or hardware, PM or mail me. Thank you.

update (2011-02-07) server upgraded, thanks to ka5
update (2011-11-21)

I am heartily sorry for delaying the release for so long. :-(

I have started the sorting of the next release of the collection.
I am still unsure about the form of the release (single/multiple) torrent(s) or the individual files or both,
but the relase is coming anyway. I will update this topic with progress.
Thank you for your patience.

2011-11-23 The current progress: checked: 170K files, 63K unique samples, there are a much more ahead...
2011-11-24 Unpacking next bundle 60 of 150G was unpacked.
2011-11-30 I am continue to unpack and sort the collection, number of uniques hit the 500K threshold.

<![CDATA[Server upgrade]]> http://vx.netlux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=743&action=new I am profoundly grateful to ka5 who donated the money for HDDs. Today I have installed additional 2TB RAID1 array to the server, and tomorrow will begin to make a new collection snapshot.

There was a nice uptime on the host, before I turned it off:

<![CDATA[Today's crash]]> http://vx.netlux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1760&action=new The server has ran out of space and crashed today. :-(
I've inserted two additional 1TB drives, I hope this would be enough for some time. :-)
I would like to thank all the people who donated the money, so I had the possibility to upgrade the server quickly.

<![CDATA[Clarifying the rules]]> http://vx.netlux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=745&action=new There are many things on this forum which are limited to the users who have enough posts and/or karma. The karma is a rank similiar to the Facebook "Like" button. The users who registered on the forum for more than a month would see the "thumb up" (+) and "thumb down" (-) buttons below each post.

Any attempt to wind up the number of posts or karma (by posting chatter messages like "hello", "thanks" etc, multiple registrations) would lead to the ban for no less than three days!

If you would like to say "thanks" to someone you should either use karma or do it by PM or in the unmoderated forum ("Open space"). If you can't keep from saying "thanks", please, explain why do you like the post, how would you use an obtained information, what difficulties have you faced by using it etc

Attachments requires five posts and at least one karma point.

External links and PDF files directory requires registration on forum.

I would tolerate (to a certain extent) the chit-chats, but posting such you are in danger to get "-".  By asking for karma most likely you will get "-" too.

The leaks (to the extrnal resources) from topics enclosed in a bracket-hide-bracket tag or attachments could be the reason for the ban too, post the link to the topic instead.

Thou shalt speakest ye Englisshe (no matter how broken it is).

This is virus forum, we have no cracks, no hacking services, no hakish goodies for the trade, however you could discuss such topics in the unmoderated forum or privately.

If you really need something, please mail (webmaster@vx.netlux.org) or PM me. Provide a details - why you need something and why you are not going to follow this rules.

Spam = termless ban

I tend to make the rules more strict and you could see the number of posts/karma increased at any time or your account might be deleted for inactivity.

Thank you!

P.S. I could relax some restrcitions for those who would like to participate in other way (by sharing intersting materials - sources, collections, books and papers; making a donations, promoting this site, running their own projects on this host). This is community not a shop or service facility.

2011-08-16 - Posts to "Open space" excluded from post count

<![CDATA[Problem with the non readed messages]]> http://vx.netlux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1241&action=new When I visit the forum, it tells me where are new messages. If I do not read the messages and I leave the page, next time I visit the forum, those message that were new before are not marked as new anymore.

Such behaviour is not good in my opinion. Until the user reads them, they should kept as non readed.
