Verdict Safe
Is super-
This Python stress-test script drew no detections from any of 76 engines, and sandbox runs showed only ordinary activity with no reputation-flagged network contacts.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
This script can be used as intended; expect heavy resource usage while a stress test runs, and keep your security software enabled.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your security software and system updates switched on.

Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Python script. Two sandbox runs recorded only techniques common in legitimate software and contacted GitHub's raw content host and the Snapcraft API, neither of which has a malicious reputation. No threat-intelligence database lists it.
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the script, including all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it. Two sandbox runs on Windows and Linux simply launched the script with Python and recorded only techniques common in legitimate software, with no process injection, persistence or dropped files. Its network contacts were GitHub's raw content host and the Snapcraft API, and all four observed hosts were checked with no malicious or suspicious reputation. No public malware databases or community rules list the file, and it has been seen by 20 submitters over about a year and a half.
What We Detected
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Python script, and no malware database or community rule set lists it. It has circulated for around 556 days among 20 submitters.
Threat Behavior
Two sandbox runs executed the script with Python on Windows and Linux. They recorded only techniques common in legitimate software, such as system information discovery and web requests, with no injection into other processes, no persistence and no dropped files. The script contacted GitHub's raw content host and the Snapcraft API; all observed hosts were checked and none has a malicious or suspicious reputation.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports running this script if you need it. As a stress test it may push CPU or memory usage high, so run it when you can tolerate heavy load and close it if your system becomes unresponsive.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The script was not uploaded for our own static analysis, so its source code was not reviewed directly; a stress-test script may also consume heavy CPU or memory by design.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- No detections from any of 76 antivirus engines, including all major antivirus engines
- Sandbox runs showed only techniques common in legitimate software
- All contacted hosts were checked and none has a bad reputation
