The purpose of this file is to raise awareness about malicious or dangerous repositories that you should avoid. These repositories may contain harmful code, vulnerabilities, or other malicious content that can compromise your systems or data.

Malicious repositories can:

• Contain malware or malicious scripts.
• Steal sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or private data.
• Include backdoors that compromise your infrastructure.
• Spread misinformation or impersonate legitimate projects.

1. Check the Author: Verify the repository's owner or organization. Look for well-known and trusted sources.
2. Look for Signs of Impersonation: Be cautious of repositories that mimic popular projects but with slight name changes or fewer stars.
3. Analyze the Code: Review the code for anything suspicious, such as obfuscated scripts or unexpected network requests.
4. Avoid Obfuscated Files: Be wary of repositories that heavily rely on obfuscated or minified code without providing the source.
5. Check Issues and Discussions: Look for reports of malicious activity or unusual behavior in the repository's issue tracker or discussions.

• Clone Trusted Sources Only: Always verify that the repository is from a trusted source before cloning.
• Use Sandboxed Environments: Test new repositories in isolated environments, such as containers or virtual machines.
• Enable Security Scans: Use automated tools to scan repositories for vulnerabilities or malicious code.
• Keep Software Up-to-Date: Ensure your operating system and tools are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

The following is a list of known dangerous repositories/tools you should avoid:

If you encounter a repository that you believe is dangerous, report it to the hosting platform (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) and inform others in the community.

For GitHub, you can report abuse here.

This document is not exhaustive, and new threats emerge constantly. Always exercise caution and follow best practices when interacting with code repositories.
