The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 engines returned clean results with no tier-1 or low-trust malicious flags. The file is a well-established literary ebook with no sandbox behaviour, contacted hosts, or external intelligence hits.
The complete absence of malicious detections across tier-1, tier-2, and low-trust engines combined with the file's age and prevalence classification indicates a benign ebook. No signing, behaviour, or external intelligence signals contradict this assessment. Filename analysis shows no adversarial patterns or security-tool mimicry. The long submission history without any flagged incidents supports a safe classification.
What We Detected
Zero malicious detections from 75 engines. File identified as an EPUB ebook containing public-domain Tolstoy stories. No PE structure, no code signing, and no sandbox execution data available.
Threat Behavior
No contacted hosts, dropped children, or external intelligence matches. No MITRE techniques or offensive behaviour observed. File shows typical characteristics of a legitimate literary ebook distributed over many years.
What To Do Now

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Unsigned file with no signer history could theoretically be a repackaged malicious ebook, but 4213-day age and zero engine detections make this scenario unlikely.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
