Is there a good resource on the web that not only hands out malware samples but also provides instructions for successful infection as well. Excuse the dummy question, but what I'd like to know or get better at is keep improving incident response and manual detection skills with the latest threats in the wild. however doing this in an unguided manner doesn't always yield to a successful infection and you end up digging a safe machine assuming it may have been infected.
A forum for reverse engineering, OS internals and malware analysis
It isn't a website but I would recommend checking out the book Practical Malware Analysis. The book contains a lot of good information for beginners and the labs can give you some good working examples. Also, google is your friend. If you are looking for analysis of samples search for malware-family-name + "analysis" and change the search tool option to search the past year.
