Malicious URLs Dataset (2025)

📘 Dataset Description This dataset contains a curated collection of malicious URLs and network indicators associated with real-world cyber threats, including malware distribution, phishing campaigns, botnets, remote access trojans (RATs), droppers, and command-and-control (C2) infrastructure. The data was collected from publicly available open-source threat-intelligence feeds and community security researchers during December 2025. Each record includes metadata such as discovery time (UTC), URL, operational status, malware family, threat category, and original reporter attribution. All entries in this dataset are labeled as malicious, making it suitable for: Cybersecurity research and education Malicious URL and malware detection systems Threat-intelligence analysis Feature extraction and benchmarking for machine learning models To reduce the risk of misuse, the dataset does not include executable payloads, and some sensitive parameters (e.g., API keys embedded in URLs) are partially redacted. URLs may be inactive at the time of access. This dataset is released for defensive, academic, and research purposes only and is intended to help improve detection, analysis, and understanding of malicious online activity.
