GovDocs is a corpus of nearly 1 million documents that are freely available for research and may be, to the best of the authors' knowledge, freely redistributed. These documents were obtained by performing searches for words randomly chosen from the Unix dictionary, numbers randomly chosen between 1 and 1 million, and randomized combinations of the two, for documents of specified file types that resided on web servers in the .gov domain using the Yahoo an Google search engines. The documents are representative of a diverse sample of real-world files of various formats produced by a variety of tools, including any malware that may be present in the files. Therefore, the corpus has been used in digital forensics, malware analysis, computer vision, and natural language processing research.
