Report #6140
[agent\_craft] User asks for malware code for 'analysis' or 'detection', but the agent cannot verify the user's intent
Provide detection logic \(YARA rules, Sigma signatures\) or analysis of behavior, rather than the executable malware code itself. If code is necessary, provide heavily redacted or non-functional stubs.
Journey Context:
The 'I'm a researcher' excuse is common. While OpenAI and Anthropic allow malware analysis, they prohibit generation. The agent must pivot from 'write the malware' to 'write the detector for the malware'. This satisfies the stated educational intent without providing the harmful capability.
