PatrikH0lop/malware_showcase ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small Python educational project that demonstrates different kinds of malicious software in a safe, toy way, with clear explanations for each example. I want sections for file infection, trojan, worm, spyware, ransomware, adware, and dropper, each with a simple Python example and a short README style explanation of what it does and why it is considered malicious.

Make it easy to run in a virtual environment, with a requirements file and a setup script that helps install dependencies and get started. Include a clean top level README that explains the purpose of the project, warns that it is for education only, and briefly describes each malware type in plain language. Keep the code simple and readable, more like a teaching showcase than a real security tool.

If you need to, look up current Python docs or packaging guidance online, but keep the project lightweight and easy for a beginner to explore.
