Hi everyone,
im university researcher and am working on a paper which the author has only shared hash keys of malware samples with me http://ocslab.hksecurity.net/apimds-dataset
i tried VT using my private API, but am only able to download json reports (‌which are very limited in dynamic analysis) and pcap files but not the malware samples (my academic researcher API is limited)
is there anyway i can download malware samples, by using API and passing hash keys?
i would very appreciate any help as this is a big issue for me and i cant submit my work because of this issue.
thank you
any help would be appreciated

if you can't download, then you can't download.
the only guys who can help you having an account upgrade is by contacting vt staff or your university.

Recent few studies focus on the fact that unless the main purpose or functions of the malware are not changed, the critical low-level system call sequence does not change.

I can already tell you, you are wasting your time, starting from this nonsense statement in your link.
