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.

Reasoning

The sample is a torrent metadata file, not executable code. Zero of 61 reporting engines flagged it malicious, and 16 tier-1 vendors (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, DrWeb, Avira, AVG) explicitly reported it clean or undetected. No heuristic rules fired, no sandbox verdicts exist, and external intelligence sources (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar) returned no hits. The rare-new prevalence is expected for a newly uploaded torrent and does not indicate malice. The filename references a copyrighted game, which is a legal concern, not a malware threat.

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. tier1ReportedClean=16 (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, DrWeb, Avira, AVG all report undetected)

  2. engines.malicious=0/61 reporting; tier1Malicious=0 — no high-trust engine flagged the sample

  3. fileType=JavaScript, mimeType=application/octet-stream — torrent metadata file, not executable

  4. adversarialInputFlags.anyInjectionSuspected=false; brandMismatch.detected=null — no adversarial signals

  5. externalIntel: circl.hit=false, yaraify.hit=false, malwareBazaar.hit=false — no researcher corroboration of malice

Points in its favour
  • 16 tier-1 antivirus engines report clean/undetected
  • Zero malicious detections across 61 reporting engines
  • No external threat intelligence hits (CIRCL, YARAify, MalwareBazaar)
  • Torrent file is non-executable metadata, not code
  • No adversarial input flags or brand mismatch detected
What to do

This file is safe to handle from a malware perspective. Torrent files are benign metadata containers; the risk profile depends on what the torrent distributes, not the file itself.

No researcher-database hits

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.
