Why we think so
4 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including 17 major antivirus engines, and no malware-specific research intelligence matched its hash. The result is reassuring, but the file has very limited prevalence and no completed sandbox observation or comprehensive host-reputation check.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 76 antivirus engines, including major antivirus engines such as Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET, and BitDefender. Research intelligence produced no malware-repository or malware-specific YARA match. Code signing is not meaningful for this unknown PAK data format, so its absence carries no negative weight. The file is nearly a year old but has only one recorded submission, which limits prevalence-based assurance. No sandbox run completed, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, so the conclusion rests primarily on static scanning.
What We Detected
None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged pak0.pak as malicious or suspicious. Seventeen major antivirus engines reported no detection, and no malware-repository or malware-specific YARA match was present.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so execution, process activity, and network behavior were not observed. A complete contacted-host reputation check is also unavailable. The file is uncommon, with only one recorded submission, but it has been known for nearly a year.
What To Do Now
Use the file only if it came from the expected game or application installation. If its origin is uncertain, keep security software enabled and compare its SHA-256 hash with the publisher's official package before placing it into an application's data directory.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- Only one submission from one source is recorded, so broad real-world prevalence does not support the result.
- No sandbox run completed, leaving behavior unobserved.
- No complete reputation check exists for any hosts the file might contact during execution.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.

- No behavior in the test run was observed in a completed sandbox.
