MT AI Engine · our arbiter

The 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.

82%Confidence
High
Reasoning

Zero malicious detections from 53 reporting engines, including 13 tier-1 engines, rules out active malware consensus. The CIRCL NSRL hit with knownMalicious=null confirms the file as a recognised benign Android-related config. High submission volume over 2437 days further supports commodity benign status. Sandbox commands such as schtasks and auditpol are common in legitimate installers or system utilities and do not override the engine and prevalence evidence.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. engines.malicious=0 and engines.tier1Malicious=0 across 53 reporting engines

  2. externalIntel.circl.hit=true, source=nsrl_android, knownMalicious=null

  3. prevalence.classification=common_old (3633 submitters, 7426 submissions)

  4. behaviour.offensiveTechniques=[T1055,T1560.002,T1620] with triggeredHeuristics showing MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection and MalwareTips.Synth.PersistenceScheduledTask

Points in its favour
  • Zero malicious engine detections
  • CIRCL NSRL reference hit
  • Common_old prevalence with thousands of submissions

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
