Malware, RAT, and Virus Removal Section

📢 Encouraging Activity & Proper Malware Removal Training

Hello everyone,

I have noticed that certain sections of the forum have not been generating much activity specifically the Malware, RAT, and Virus Removal section. To improve engagement, I encourage community members to request system check-ups in the appropriate section. Your participation will help foster discussions and improve overall security awareness.

Additionally, I would love to see more high-quality tutorials posted in the White Hat Hacking section as well as the Malware, RAT, and Virus Removal section. Sharing valuable knowledge helps strengthen our community and provides useful resources for others. It can be as simple as just telling your friends on this forum to let me give their computer a check up.

⚠️ Important Notice on Malware Removal Advice

Please refrain from providing malware removal assistance unless you have been properly guided. This section contains essential tutorials, and I urge you to read and fully understand them as they are a part of the Malware Removal Academy. The tutorials labelled optional are completely optional and are not going to be a part of the curriculum of the Malware Removal Academy. This in turn is part of the way I am shortening the academy from what it once was, which is 8-14 months to a current estimated completion time of around 1-2 months.

If a member requests malware removal assistance, please direct them to me by linking them to the Preparation Guide stickied in the section. I along with ven0m are the only currently active members qualified to provide malware removal guidance.

It's important to remember that removing malware is often the easy part—the real challenge lies in handling potential complications, such as system crashes (BSODs), unbootable states, and data loss. I am implementing these restrictions for the safety of the community, as a single mistake could result in permanent data loss or an unrecoverable system failure.

💡 Why Proper Training Matters

Imagine a scenario where someone has spent over a year developing important projects on their computer. They get infected with a simple piece of malware, and in an attempt to help, you accidentally delete the wrong file—rendering their system unbootable.

Would you know how to recover their data?
Would a simple Windows reinstallation be enough?
In some cases, there is no fix, and we want to avoid putting our peers in that situation.

Our goal is to help, not harm—which is why proper training is essential before offering malware removal assistance. We must ensure that our advice is accurate, effective, and safe.

🔹 Encouraging Growth in the Malware Removal Section

While proper training is necessary, I do want to increase activity in this section. Once everyone has completed the necessary training, there will be plenty of work for all of us. Building engagement now ensures that we have a steady flow of cases to work on in the future.

📩 Questions or Concerns?
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reply to this thread. I appreciate your commitment to keeping our community safe and well-informed.

Thanks,
Tha Sneak

Reducing from 8-14 to 1-2 months is definitely a good thing, hope it will be doable.

I'll definitely dive into the guides and get certified to help you and Ven0m in this task.

By the way, to increase the activity in the White Hat section I could move the threads where people share malware and I analyze them, maybe change the thread title with something like : INFECTED or Malware Removal Team Reviewed, or something like that ?

Example : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6288934

I could also change the GFX of this thread with MRT-X ones : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6276795

I think it will be very doable originally the graduation rate was around 10% with the 8-14 months. My time is just an estimation with the proper motivation and effort I actually think it can be done in a couple weeks it just depends on the activity. At the same token in the beginning with me as the only teacher it will be difficult on me so there will be limitations on how much I can do without over doing it. ven0m was a teacher, but I don't know how up to par he is with current stuff he may be able to help teach, which would also speed it up a ton.

The tutorials are largely a majority of the academy and instead of hiding them until you reach a certain level I think its more beneficial to place them all out so at their own pace they can study them until its time to do the practice logs and exams. I'm still brain storming on the practice logs and exam, but I think I can make it fairly quick with them understanding how to do things correctly.

I do want to start a service of making sure every link/download on the site is safe. I also want to create a seal that states the file has been analyzed by MRT-X and is certified to be safe.

I want to try to keep the Malware, RAT, and Virus removal section for only tutorials and infection removal. The analysis and stuff can definitely be moved to the White Hat Hacking sections as I think analysis/reverse engineering largely falls under that category.

If you can access it this is my analysis of an infected file leading to said member being banned: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?ti...id62689005

I'd like the analysis to look something like that I will make a very detailed write up on analysis as its very simple to analysis its just reading the results that's tricky.

If you want to tag that thread as [Infected] that would be great. I also would like the old tags to come back to the Malware, RAT, Virus Removal section if they're not still there, which was: [Check-Up] and [Infected] which helped keep things organized when it came to analyzing people's logs in that section.

If you would like to convert: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6276795 to MRT-X that would be nice since it mainly falls under our group now. I don't want to take things away from The Brotherhood so that's strictly up to you.

I do want to get two seals made one that is a seal that the file is infected and one is a seal that the file is clean to post along with our analysis to make it look professional.

At one time there were people who would just join for malware removal lol, which is ironic because its a hacking forum. I'm hoping to bring that back as we are presently the largest and only forum currently with a Malware Removal Academy and one of the largest active forums that does malware removal. I would say we are #3 with Malwarebytes being #2 and BleepingComputer at #1. I would love to see us take the #1 spot.

I've been working with Novo on the whole website I think its gonna turn out very nicely.

I want to use the website for the wiki, other things, and directly competing with this site: https://uniteagainstmalware.com/

UNITE is a group that used to control the malware removal community if you weren't on the UNITE list you weren't certified or allowed to teach. I want to offer a public certification for malware removal and do things better and more professionally than UNITE.

Tha would be awesome, with like a tag / feature we could add to OP post such as an MD5 and that he won't be able to remove / edit maybe ?

I'm good with that 👍

+1 for this

This thread was the first fruit of MRT-X, I'm glad to finally put the MRT-X GFX on it

HOWEVER : something came to my mind, as many of the members who shared malware have been baned, I'm afraid that one day Omni will pruge the accounts and the threads will be gone. I think we should make a new thread for each analysis instead of making the analysis on the member's thread.

There is a lot of work but why not 😎
