Considering the entire open source pentesting community almost exclusively uses GitHub to host their projects: no. There is actual malware being hosted on GitHub, with the caveat that malware and pentest tools or proof of concept exploits are sometimes indistinguishable.
GitHub announced a few years ago that they would crack down on malware and were about to introduce some very strict T&C. After a huge backlash from the pentesters (justified in my opinion), they backpedaled a little bit. Hosting pentesting tools is fine, using GitHub as your C2 server or to to deliver malware in actual attacks is not.
- RockRobotRock 4y agoI completely agree, despite the wording of my comment. In this case, the user has a different GH account for hosting their malware and C2, but the fact that they're so flagrant about it is what bothers me. I was a skid once, I get it, probably a lot of us were.
