Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • communityComments contain multiple researcher notes stating 'legitimate tool, used maliciously' and 'not malware but often abused'

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 this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Used remote services to reach another system on the network.

  • High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.

  • High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.

  • High concern: Created or modified a system service, which can keep code running.

  • High concern: Changed an auto-start location that can make code run after sign-in or restart.

  • High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.

  • High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Threat context

How hacktools are abused

This is a hacking or cracking tool — the kind used to bypass software licences, generate fake keys, or attack other systems. Even when the tool 'works', these downloads very often carry hidden malware.

Bottom line:Running one means trusting an anonymous author with full access to your PC — rarely worth the risk.

Is RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip malware?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip is malicious. Do not open or extract it. Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 44 of 74 antivirus engines flag it (family: rdpwrap). It behaves as a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. If you've already opened or extracted it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip is a compressed archive, about 1.5 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: rdpwrap) — a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
44 of 74 antivirus engines flagged RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip, 44 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict comes from the complete saved evidence, not from this antivirus count by itself.
I already downloaded and opened or extracted RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
To remove RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip is classified as a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. Engines attribute it to the rdpwrap family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip is 35a9481ddbed5177431a9ea4bd09468fe987797d7b1231d64942d17eb54ec269, and its MD5 is c26a2c5f6154225e8d83c4000306f162. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
How up to date is this analysis of RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on August 6, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
