Verdict Safe
Is libpcap-
This compressed source archive drew no detections from any of the 74 engines and appears in no public malware database or malware rule set.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
The archive appears clean; verify it against the official project checksum or signature before building, as with any source download.

Why we think so
0 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this source archive, and none of the 18 major antivirus engines raised anything. It is not listed in public malware databases and matched no malware-specific rules. It has not been executed or unpacked by our own analysis, which is normal for source code.
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and all 60 that analysed it returned clean, including every major antivirus engine. Reference and sample-sharing databases plus community malware rules returned no hits. Code signing does not apply to a compressed source archive, so its absence says nothing. The file is rarely submitted, which is expected for a specific source release. No runtime or static observation is available, so the assessment rests on engine scanning and database checks.
What We Detected
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this compressed source archive; the 60 engines that returned a result, including 18 major antivirus engines such as Kaspersky, ESET, BitDefender and Microsoft, reported it clean. It matched no entries in public malware databases or malware-specific rule sets.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox run or static unpacking is available for this archive, so no behaviour was observed. Source archives contain code that only runs when you build it, and nothing in the scan evidence points to tampering.
What To Do Now
The file shows no signs of malware. For source packages, it is good practice to download from the project's official site and compare the published checksum or signature before building.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The archive was not unpacked by our static analysis and never ran in a sandbox, so a tampered build script inside it would rest only on the engines' archive scanning.
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 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines that reported
- Not listed in public malware databases and matched no malware-specific rules
