Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
One completed observation from the test run found no offensive techniques, persistence, or injection, and both contacted domains received full host-reputation checks without a malicious or suspicious result.
The antivirus evidence is uniformly favorable: none of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and no independent detector reported a threat. A completed sandbox run recorded only two techniques common in legitimate software, with no offensive technique, injected process, persistence indicator, or malicious sandbox result. The two observed domains were both inspected against the host-reputation cache, with neither identified as malicious or suspicious. The sample is also well established, having appeared from 194 sources across 203 submissions over 428 days. No fired heuristic, malicious child, brand mismatch, or adverse feedback provides counter-evidence.
What We Detected
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged run_server.bat. This includes all 17 reporting major antivirus engines, and there was no named malware family or hacking tool identification.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run observed command-shell activity consistent with running related batch files. It recorded no offensive techniques, process injection, persistence indicators, registry changes, or malicious files it created. Both observed domains were covered by the host-reputation check, and neither had a malicious or suspicious classification.
Context
The sample has been observed for 428 days from 194 distinct sources and submitted 203 times. No rule-based rules fired, and no user, staff, or researcher warning was attached to this hash.
What To Do Now
The available evidence does not indicate malware activity. Because batch files can execute commands directly, review the script text before running it if it came from an unexpected source, and keep security software enabled.
- None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- The completed observation from the test run found no offensive techniques, persistence, or process injection.
- Both observed network destinations were checked and had no malicious or suspicious reputation.
- The file has broad, established prevalence across 194 distinct sources.
- No rule-based rules or adverse user and staff reports were present.
