For several months now I've been slowly, but surely, working behind the scenes to dramatically enhance vx-underground.

I still don't have a definitive timeline, but I would like to share some stuff coming.

1. All source code will be moved from GitHub to vx-underground. The new vx-underground will have functionality to search through code bases by keywords for research, filter by language type, yada yada yada.

2. Enhanced malware paper searching. It'll be easier to search for stuff now.

3. API access to verified individuals. This is designed for researchers, or organizations, who may want the ability to perform large downloads programmatically.

4. Paid tier. vx-underground will remain free for everyone. However, if you're an organization which makes more than $1,000,000/year you will have to pay for some functionality (malware sample API downloads). I will not charge thousands of dollars, I'm not greedy, but some of you large companies are jerks and need to pay up for scraping the site for AI and samples. API access will be free for individual researchers, small businesses, students, non-profits, and government institutions. Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way large for-profit organizations will not donate.

5. I've heard your complaints for YEARS. We are looking for a HTML-only vx-underground implementation, probably as a subdomain or something. I'm well aware you hardcore nerds hate JavaScript. I will continue investigating this.

6. We're working on our 4th book, Black Mass Volume IV.

I have more to announce, but some details are still up in the air. These changes likely won't appear until ... I don't know, bro. I've got a full time job and a family. I'm thinking probably late 2026, early 2027.

Thank you to our donors and sponsors that make this possible. I'm not as speedy as I used to be with updates, but I'm still cooking.

Cheers
