9-byte README.md text file with zero detections across 61 engines including 18 tier-1 vendors; established benign history.
305768a33f04b1dce9…d641b26b87The verdict, reasoned out.
Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.
The file is a minimal text document with no executable content, no binary structure, and no obfuscation. Zero detections across 61 reporting engines, including high-trust vendors (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, McAfee), establish a unanimous clean verdict. No adversarial input flags, no sandbox behaviour data, no malicious host contact, and no external intelligence hits (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar) provide additional confidence. The medium prevalence classification (15 submitters, 16 submissions since January 2023) indicates this is a well-known benign file rather than a new or suspicious sample.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.
engines.tier1Malicious=0; 18 tier-1 engines (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, McAfee, others) all report undetected
engines.malicious=0, engines.suspicious=0 across 61 reporting engines — zero detections
fileType='Text', fileName='README.md', fileSize=9 bytes — consistent with benign documentation
prevalence.classification='medium' with 15 unique submitters over 1261 days — established benign file history
No adversarial input, no signing metadata, no sandbox behaviour, no external intel hits, no triggered heuristics — complete absence of threat signals
