Is RiftCat (Vridge) 2.7.0.zip safe?
Single tier-2 detection on a widely submitted Android archive with no tier-1 or sandbox confirmation.
One of 75 engines flagged the file with a generic Artemis label; tier-1 engines stayed silent and the sandbox returned no malicious verdict. The file has been submitted by 460 sources over two years with no confirmed malicious children or host contacts.

Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
One of 75 engines flagged the file with a generic Artemis label; tier-1 engines stayed silent and the sandbox returned no malicious verdict. The file has been submitted by 460 sources over two years with no confirmed malicious children or host contacts.
The single detection originates from a tier-2 engine and carries no named family consensus. Sandbox execution produced no malicious verdict and dropped ten children, none of which triggered malicious verdicts. Contacted-host cross-check inspected two hosts and found none previously flagged. Widespread, long-term prevalence and the absence of tier-1 detections outweigh the heuristic mappings to T1055 and direct-IP traffic, which the rules themselves note can occur in legitimate installers.
What We Detected
One tier-2 engine (TrellixENS) returned the generic label Artemis!4A90809A1F61; 17 tier-1 engines and 64 other engines reported the file clean. Sandbox analysis observed process-injection and direct-IP traffic but explicitly stated these behaviours do not prove malicious intent.
Threat Behavior
No malicious sandbox verdict, no malicious dropped children, and no complete contacted-host reputation result was available contacted. The archive is labelled common_old with nearly 500 submissions across 460 sources over 716 days.
What To Do Now
The file can be treated as low-risk for most users. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid running executables extracted from archives of unknown origin.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- communityComments contain researcher tags #killmbr, #bootkit, #wiper alongside one explicit clean verdict — conflicting annotations reduce certainty.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero tier-1 malicious detections
- No malicious sandbox verdict
- No malicious dropped children
- Long-term widespread prevalence
- Filename contains the word 'Cracked'
- Community annotations include conflicting malware tags
The evidence supports treating the file as safe for typical use; continue running current endpoint protection and exercise normal caution with any cracked software.

Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
Evidence"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Temp\RiftCat (Vridge) 2.7.0/RiftCat 2.7.0 [Cracked]/bg/RiftCat.resources.dll",#1The sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.
