I remeber maybe sometime last year someone posted a website where you could download a bunch of recent and old worms/virii/rootkits/trojans and all that fun stuff. I'm trying to find this stuff so i can learn how to defend against them and remove them from test systems. I searched and could not find anything.
Also, what are some good security/hacking websites and forums i should be following?

Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

IMHO, the best place to get them is live on the internet. Just throw up a virgin Windows 98 box on the internet and sit back. Within a few minutes you should have plenty to examine. If you want to get fancy, run Wireshark, then carve the files out of the streams themselves.-un

Do you want exploits or ready-to-use Malware? Exploit databases are at www.milw0rm.com and www.exploit-db.com. If you want actual working samples of Malware, search Google using phrases like "(virus OR malware) collection". There are also Web sites that sell rootkits, but I wouldn't want to give any of them my credit card number. And plan on any of these sites you visit to try and immediately hack you.
The P2P networks are also a great place to find Malware in the wild. No only can you download ZIPped collections of virii, but any file that is being shared by an unusually large number of hosts is either a movie, pirated software, adult content, or a Trojan/virus dropper. The problem is that the selection of P2P-distributed Malware you'll find is very small. Most just want to infect your machine with a shell and open a channel to an illicit server somewhere. Not very interesting. -
