For several months now I've been slowly, but surely, working behind the scenes to dramatically enhance vx-underground. I still don't have a definitive timeline, but I would like to share some stuff coming. 1. All source code will be moved from GitHub to vx-underground. The new vx-underground will have functionality to search through code bases by keywords for research, filter by language type, yada yada yada. 2. Enhanced malware paper searching. It'll be easier to search for stuff now. 3. API access to verified individuals. This is designed for researchers, or organizations, who may want the ability to perform large downloads programmatically. 4. Paid tier. vx-underground will remain free for everyone. However, if you're an organization which makes more than $1,000,000/year you will have to pay for some functionality (malware sample API downloads). I will not charge thousands of dollars, I'm not greedy, but some of you large companies are jerks and need to pay up for scraping the site for AI and samples. API access will be free for individual researchers, small businesses, students, non-profits, and government institutions. Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way large for-profit organizations will not donate. 5. I've heard your complaints for YEARS. We are looking for a HTML-only vx-underground implementation, probably as a subdomain or something. I'm well aware you hardcore nerds hate JavaScript. I will continue investigating this. 6. We're working on our 4th book, Black Mass Volume IV. I have more to announce, but some details are still up in the air. These changes likely won't appear until ... I don't know, bro. I've got a full time job and a family. I'm thinking probably late 2026, early 2027. Thank you to our donors and sponsors that make this possible. I'm not as speedy as I used to be with updates, but I'm still cooking. Cheers -smelly

Hello, vx-underground has been updated with a fancier UI and stuff. We've also made some performance improvements. These updates are thanks to our sponsors who unironically give me a pretty penny to support the site, handle the infrastructure, and not have to worry about begging people on social media for money. Biggest thanks to: - @TorGuard, the coolest and most baddest VPN thingie I know. I love the owner and their stuff. They save my ass. I owe this guy my life. - @HackingDave (and @TrustedSec and/or @Binary_Defense), Mr. Kennedy is the currently the largest individual donor to vx-underground while also remaining low-key. He has saved this library two years in a row. - @domchell (and @MDSecLabs), Dom has been a pretty big donor every Summer now. Dom makes the summers easier and calmer. He is a good man. He makes good malware (allegedly). - @MalDevAcademy, yet another huge monthly sponsor. They make it easy to pay the bills each month and also our biggest Christmas Giveaway donor. Each Christmas they gift us thousands of dollars to giveaway. Also big thanks to @_JohnHammond (who calls me the crazy cat guy), @virussign for donating huge volumes of malware to us, @shellterproject for the big shiny penny, @PerkinsFund for being a long time donor and contributor ... and everyone else who donates $5/month - $100/month. I'm missing someone somewhere, I'm going off the top of the head. I'm sorry. Thanks to the many other kind people who donate individually, I don't have to beg on social media like the ol' days. I can just keep schizo posting pictures of kitty cats and letting malware source code, samples, and papers flow to the website.
