6 evidence-based answers
Is cliff.rar safe?
Evidence-based answer
cliff.rar appears safe. 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it. Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
What is cliff.rar?
Evidence-based answer
cliff.rar is a compressed archive, about 46.4 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected cliff.rar?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged cliff.rar. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of cliff.rar?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of cliff.rar is 920bdb47ae0c0b96ee8aac55c23f9541e735703c36df9c7d91c6d3c6e78e10c6, and its MD5 is 95e9a8dc6f1501e424396dae99d62a47. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to open or extract cliff.rar?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, cliff.rar has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of cliff.rar?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 6, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of cliff.rar is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
