During
talks
and
presentations
people
often
ask
me
how
do
I
remember
so
many
names,
different
“artifacts”
(a.k.a
Malware)
and
groups.

During
talks
and
presentations
people
often
ask
me
how
do
I
remember
so
many
names,
different
“artifacts”
(a.k.a
Malware)
and
groups.
I
actually
ended
up
with
a
“hemmm
…
well…
actually
I
just
remember
them
since
I
read
and
write
a
lot
about
cyber
threats”.
So
here
it
comes
the

Malware
Family
CheatSheet.
This
work
does
not
pretend
to
be
original,
it’s
just
my
contribution
to
people
who
wants
to
remember
Malware
families
and
their
classification.

The
CheatSheet
is
divided
into
8
clusters:
Loader
Family,
BOT
Family,
RAT
Family,
STEALER
Family,
Keylogger
Family,
Rootkit
Family,
Command
and
Control
Family
and
Wiper
Family.
For
each
cluster
are
reported
the
main
observed
Malware
during
2022.
Feel
free
to
share
it
with
you
network
if
you
find
useful.
