Is OGChapter2Cheat.rar safe?
No antivirus engine detected the archive, but observed process-injection, defense-evasion, and LSASS-targeting activity makes execution inappropriate without further verification.
The archive received no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, and its two observed network contacts had no cached threat reputation. However, runtime evidence mapped activity to process injection and defense evasion, while a heuristic recorded LSASS targeting, so the contents should not be run on a normal system.

Before opening or extracting
Do not open or extract it until the source can be verified independently.
If you already opened or extracted it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.
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.
The archive received no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, and its two observed network contacts had no cached threat reputation. However, runtime evidence mapped activity to process injection and defense evasion, while a heuristic recorded LSASS targeting, so the contents should not be run on a normal system.
Static scanning produced no detections from 75 engines, including all 17 tier-1 products. One completed sandbox did not issue a malicious runtime verdict, and the fully covered host check found no known-malicious or suspicious reputation for either observed domain. Nevertheless, the runtime record includes T1055 process injection and T1562.001 defense evasion, both offensive techniques. A credential-dumping heuristic also recorded activity targeting LSASS, which is a meaningful risk signal even though it does not prove credential theft by itself. The archive's apparent game-cheat purpose can explain injection behavior, but such tools remain high-risk and the ten extracted components do not have individual verdicts.
What We Detected
The RAR archive was not flagged by any of 75 antivirus engines, and all 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection. Research feeds supplied no matching family or YARA rules. Ten extracted files were inspected without a known malicious child, but each child still lacks an individual verdict.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run mapped activity to MITRE T1055 process injection and T1562.001 impairment of defenses. The saved evidence also recorded LSASS targeting, which resembles credential-access tooling and materially raises risk. Both observed domains were covered by the host-reputation check and had no known-malicious or suspicious cache entries, while the sandbox itself did not issue a malicious verdict.
What To Do Now
Do not run the archive on a primary or trusted Windows system. Keep endpoint protection enabled, obtain the file only from a verifiable source, and require separate analysis of every extracted executable and DLL before considering isolated testing.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The complete 0/75 engine result and silence from all 17 tier-1 engines weigh against known malware.
- The completed sandbox did not issue a malicious verdict, and no persistenceIndicators were recorded.
- All 10 extracted children lack individual verdicts, so droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false does not establish that those components are benign.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- The completed sandbox did not issue a malicious verdict.
- Both observed domains received complete host-reputation coverage with no malicious or suspicious hits.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify match was found.
- Runtime evidence mapped activity to MITRE T1055 process injection.
- Runtime evidence mapped activity to MITRE T1562.001 defense evasion.
- The MalwareTips.Synth.CredentialDumper heuristic recorded LSASS targeting.
- The archive launches several DLLs through rundll32.exe from a temporary directory.
- All 10 extracted child files currently lack individual verdicts.
- The game-cheat filename indicates software expected to manipulate another process.
Avoid executing this archive on a normal system and keep all security protections enabled. If analysis is necessary, inspect each extracted component separately in a disposable, isolated environment with no sensitive accounts or data.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.
High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.
Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.
Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.
Note: Listed running processes; both legitimate software and malware may do this.
Note: Collects details about your system.
These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

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\OGChapter2Cheat/ModernWpf.Controls.dll",#1Sandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
