He can also fire up mwcollect or Nepenthes, with similar results.
Heck, he's probably able to get the source code of that malware, after
asking around a bit.  Since most malware has hard-coded C&C
functionality, the latter is the much better option.

I doubt a malware collection is *that* helpful for offensive purposes.
Sure, there might be some guys who think it's funny to send their
ex-girlfriends some piece of malware, but this is not the group of
evildoers I really care about.  The potential gains from information
sharing outweigh such risks, IMHO.
