API traces for malware detection

The dataset consists of traces of benign and malware samples. There are approximately 330k traces in the dataset, each meticulously collected and curated for research and analysis purposes, with an uncompressed size of 550GB. The dataset was collected during the second half of 2023. The file "shas_by_families.json" links each SHA(which is also the individual filenames) with the associated malware or benign family.  Each file is in json format and includes the parameters of the API call as well.
