Blackbird Community

Built in the open.
Sharpened together.

Blackbird is stronger because researchers, malware analysts, QA testers, and engineers push it into the uncomfortable corners. This page recognizes the people who find what others miss.

Recognition for work that moves Blackbird forward.

The Hall of Fame is for meaningful impact—not raw issue count. Clear reproduction steps, hard-to-find failure modes, detection research, documentation, code, and careful QA all count.

Every contribution listed here helped make Blackbird safer, clearer, or more capable for the people using it in real analysis environments.

Community Testing

ghosthandle

Stress-tested long-running capture sessions and documented resource growth that informed the latest retention fixes.

Soak TestingTelemetry

There is more than one way to make an impact.

01

Test the edges

Run Blackbird against unusual samples, Windows builds, and long-lived sessions.

02

Report precisely

Include environment details, logs, reproduction steps, and the expected behavior.

03

Improve the work

Contribute code, detections, documentation, research, or workflow feedback.
