Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 1 month ago

Is DarthFN.zip safe? Treat it as suspicious.

Fortinet alone identified the archive as Riskware/Application, with no named-family consensus among 75 engines.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (Fortinet) flags it and one of our detection rules matched it.

Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.

Don't open or extract it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened or extracted it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Only 1 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the archive, and the sole label is the broad Fortinet Riskware/Application designation rather than a named malware family. That weak detection footprint is offset by evidence from the test run mapped to and T1562.001, plus a service-style persistence indicator. The sample also made direct connections to 13 IP addresses, but no complete host-reputation result is available because contactedHosts is null. The sandbox did not issue a malicious verdict, and no inspected child was identified as malicious, although all ten child verdicts remain unresolved. With no curated intelligence hit or family consensus, the evidence supports caution rather than a definitive malware attribution.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • Only Fortinet flagged the file, and its Riskware/Application label denotes broad riskware or unwanted program behavior rather than a named malware family.
  • No sandbox returned a malicious verdict, so the completed sandbox run did not independently issue a malicious determination.
  • The absence of a MalwareBazaar listing, the absence of a known-software database match, and the absence of community YARA matches provide no curated corroboration, though absence may reflect coverage gaps.
  • Fifteen major antivirus engines reported no detection, including Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avast, and Microsoft-independent peers.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Set itself to start automatically after a restart.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Deleted files or logs during the test run (installers often clean up after themselves).

  • Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
