Reasoning

The file exhibits a clean engine profile: zero malicious detections across 67 reporting engines, with 17 tier-1 engines (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avira, Emsisoft, and others) all reporting no threat. The DirectIpC2 heuristic rule fired because the sample contacted external IPs without DNS queries; however, analysis of those IPs reveals they are Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), GitHub CDN (185.199.x.x), and Google services (74.125.x.x, 173.194.x.x, 64.233.x.x, 209.85.x.x) — standard infrastructure for content delivery. The contacted URL (animekai.to login page) and file prevalence (common_old, 168 submissions) confirm this is a known streaming application. No malicious sandbox verdicts, no dropped malicious children, and no contacted hosts in our malicious cache further support a benign classification.

Key signals · 5

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

  1. tier1Malicious=0; 17 tier-1 engines (Avast, Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Ikarus, F-Secure, Emsisoft, GData, Avira, AVG, DrWeb) all silent

  2. engines.malicious=0/67; no named malware family consensus; onlyLowTrustFlagging=false

  3. Contacted IPs include 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 185.199.x.x (GitHub CDN), 74.125.x.x and 173.194.x.x (Google services) — legitimate CDN/cloud infrastructure, not malicious C2

  4. prevalence.classification=common_old (158 submitters, 168 submissions over 341 days); no external-intel hits (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar all negative)

  5. triggeredHeuristics: MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 fired but evidence shows benign streaming-app service contact, not C2 exfiltration

Points in its favour
  • Zero malicious detections across 67 antivirus engines
  • 17 tier-1 engines (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avira, Emsisoft, GData, Ikarus, F-Secure, DrWeb, Avast, AVG) all report clean
  • Contacted IPs are legitimate CDN and cloud services (Cloudflare, Google, GitHub)
  • Common-old prevalence (168 submissions, 158 sources) indicates known, widely-distributed application
  • No malicious sandbox verdicts, no dropped malicious children, no malicious host contact
What to do

This file is safe to use. The heuristic C2 alert reflects benign streaming-app behaviour (CDN contact) rather than malware activity. Standard Android app permission review is recommended as with any application.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 20 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

How often this file shows up in the wild

Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.

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.
