Malicious File Trick Detection Dataset

This dataset provides a structured collection of file-based social engineering and obfuscation techniques used by attackers to bypass user awareness, antivirus (AV) detection, and security filters. Each entry identifies a malicious or deceptive filename, the evasion technique used, and detection methodology.

The dataset is ideal for:

  • ๐Ÿง  Training AI/ML models for malware detection
  • ๐Ÿšจ Building secure email gateways and filters
  • ๐Ÿ“š Teaching social engineering and malware delivery tactics

๐Ÿ“ Dataset Format

Stored in .jsonl format (JSON Lines), with one structured object per line.

Fields

Field Description
filename Example of a malicious or deceptive file name
technique Obfuscation method used (e.g., Double extension, Unicode trick)
category Context or delivery type (e.g., Social Engineering, Malware Delivery)
detected_by Detection method or defense mechanism (e.g., AV heuristic, Sandbox)

๐Ÿ” Example

{
  "filename": "report.pdf.exe",
  "technique": "Double extension",
  "category": "Social Engineering",
  "detected_by": "AV heuristic"
}
โœ… Key Techniques Included

    Double extension (file.pdf.exe)

    Whitespace padding (file.txt .exe)

    Unicode manipulation (fileโ€ฎ.exe)

    Alternate file data streams (Windows ADS)

    Executable macros in Office docs (.docm, .xlsm)

    Archive deception (.zip bombs, nested .rar)

    Script obfuscation (.vbs, .bat, .js payloads)

๐Ÿ›  Use Cases

    Machine learning for secure email filtering

    Static or behavioral malware classifiers

    LLM training for phishing/malware awareness

    Threat modeling and red team education
