I need some help I have 1,000 Malware samples but need to rename them from .file to .exe how can I do this without renaiming 1 by 1?

I think you misread the rules. Your initial sample set should be between 5000-10000 samples. The tested sample set should be between 500-1000 samples. For example, if you find 8000 samples, you would randomly test 800 of them with EfficacyTest.

I got the amount of samples and randomly choose them myself. :)

EfficacyTest tool was not working on the computer so I just grabbed the 1,000 sample handful.

Just finished Windows Defender and doing Avast, Zemana, Malwarebytes, Bit defender, and maybe some more before Voodosheild.

EDIT to the OP about number of Sample

"If the tester can't get such number of samples , an absolute minimum would be 100 real malwares (not PUP or else) for the test; however more sample you have, better it is for the test"

and maybe for you ;)
These numbers seem more achievable, i was about to give up.

For samples:

Not requiring website registration or API key...

VX Vault

MAD - Malware Analysis & Diagnostic
YART

theZoo aka Malware DB by ytisf

List that includes the above along with others that require registration or API key; takes sometimes a week or more to get login credentials...

Malware Sample Sources for Researchers

virussign offers large packs of 300 or more samples; a lot of the samples will really mess with some AVs\Internet Security Suites.

More recent samples can be downloaded via direct URL using:

Malc0de Database

LOL... everybody is going to be using the same sample sources; so pick samples randomly.
