totally depends on where u live. id say 99% of places, u wont. also, research purposes is ok if its obvious. u can download malware in lots of places, sources, so taking them off of github really wont do anything either.

personally if i post such things i will either ensure it has detections everywhere or somehow neuter it. usually for research you dont really need to have fully functioning malware. just enough to prove some question. so despite posting sources of malware being ok, and it being available in lots of places, i do think, especially for advanced things, its better not to contribute it freely... but to each their own. i'd advise strongly against just outright posting functional cyber weapons, not because its illegal, but simply because its really not needed. there is more bad potential than positive use compared to broken or incomplete versions.
