Samples? Info please

[XURSISM]

Hi I'm new to this forum. I was wondering exactly what the sample files were? I'm guessing mostly for people testing anti virus softwares? Or for example if you were downloading a RAT sample is it just a download of the RAT from someone who says its a clean version or are they posting it for multiple people to test and see if the file is infected by someone or not?

Please understand the samples in the MalwareHub are dangerous, they are live malware for testing/analysis purposes, and not harmless coded files like some testers use.
