Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 1 month ago

Is VeloStrap V0.2.1.zip safe? Treat it as suspicious.

ZIP archive containing a PE that triggered three offensive MITRE techniques and direct-IP contacts, yet only one less reliable engine flagged it.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (Bkav) flags it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't open or extract it until you know where it came from

Treat as suspicious pending further sandbox or reputation data; keep all security software active.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened or extracted it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

One less reliable engine (Bkav) flagged the sample; 16 major antivirus engines remained silent.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • No major antivirus engines flagged it and only less reliable engines flagged it — single less reliable detection often false positive.
  • No sandbox returned a malicious verdict and no dropped file is known to be malicious — no sandbox or child confirmation of malice.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

  • Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: Showed activity a sandbox rule links to file encryption; no ransomware behaviour was confirmed.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
