Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Zero of the 59 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file. The sample matches the well-known Terraria game, has been submitted by 397 sources since 2012, and shows no malicious sandbox behaviour.
The complete absence of detections across 74 engines, combined with the file's age and prevalence, strongly indicates a legitimate game binary. Community annotations confirm the file is Terraria version 1.0.4. While the executable is unsigned and one rule noted direct-no complete contacted-host reputation result was available engine results and long submission history. The mixed RAG verdicts reflect framework collisions rather than actual similarity to the current sample.
What We Detected
74 engines scanned the file with zero malicious detections. The sample is an unsigned Win32 executable named Terraria.exe, first submitted in 2012 and seen by 397 sources.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox execution recorded direct-IP connections and several routine system interactions, but no malicious verdict was returned. Two dropped files were inspected and found clean. No persistence mechanisms or registry modifications were observed.
What To Do Now
The file can be considered safe for execution. Keep security software enabled as a general precaution when running any downloaded executable.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The file is unsigned — unsigned executable reduces trust for a 14-year-old file
- similarHashes shows 4/5 prior import-table fingerprint matches returned suspicious or malicious verdicts
- triggeredHeuristics[0] fired on direct-IP traffic pattern
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 detections across 74 engines
- Common_old prevalence with 480 submissions
- Community annotations identify it as Terraria game
- No malicious sandbox verdict or dropped malicious files it created
- File is unsigned
- Direct-IP network traffic observed in sandbox
