Analyst conclusion

All 75 engines returned clean. One sandbox run showed no malicious verdict and the file has been submitted 39k times by 3.7k sources with no malicious children or host hits.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • communityComments contain two conflicting FileScan.IO verdicts (NO_THREAT vs MALICIOUS) — low weight given unanimous engine silence.

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

Recommended action

No action required; the file shows consistent clean signals across engines and sandbox analysis.

What to do now

This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.

  3. Recovery step 03

6 evidence-based answers
Is Edgefield.py safe?
Evidence-based answer
Edgefield.py appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is Edgefield.py?
Evidence-based answer
Edgefield.py is a script file, about 9 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected Edgefield.py?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged Edgefield.py. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Edgefield.py?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Edgefield.py is 5a2d8e648e3f4cbdcd32cbd2bb0ba48d10de32fe14042e201a8bb7088cefad79, and its MD5 is f82bfb01fa17b87134b14fc21ddacb74. 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.
Is it safe to run Edgefield.py?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, Edgefield.py has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of Edgefield.py?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on August 4, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Edgefield.py 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.
