Is nora-tweaks-1.21.11-build-8.jar safe?
Only MaxSecure flagged this JAR with a generic label, while all 17 tier-1 engines and the completed sandbox provided no malware verdict.
The lone detection comes from MaxSecure, a low-trust engine, and uses a generic label rather than identifying a malware family. All 17 tier-1 engines remained silent, and one completed sandbox issued no malicious verdict, although two offensive techniques and six unresolved child files justify keeping endpoint protection enabled.

Before opening or running
Open or run it only when its publisher and download source have been independently verified.
If you already opened or ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The lone detection comes from MaxSecure, a low-trust engine, and uses a generic label rather than identifying a malware family. All 17 tier-1 engines remained silent, and one completed sandbox issued no malicious verdict, although two offensive techniques and six unresolved child files justify keeping endpoint protection enabled.
Only 1 of 75 engines flagged the JAR, and that result came from MaxSecure with a generic Trojan label. All 17 tier-1 engines, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, ESET-NOD32, and BitDefender, reported no detection. One sandbox observed techniques T1543.002 and T1562.001 but did not issue a malicious verdict, record persistence indicators, or observe network contacts. Six dropped files were inspected without a malicious result, though their individual status remains unresolved. Researcher-curated intelligence produced no corroborating family or YARA match, making a false positive substantially more likely than an active Trojan.
What We Detected
MaxSecure was the only engine to flag the file, producing the generic label “Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen.” The remaining antivirus evidence included no tier-1 detections or named-family consensus; all 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox mapped activity to T1543.002 and T1562.001, but it issued no malicious verdict and recorded no persistence indicators or network contacts. Six written child files were inspected without a malicious child finding, although each child remains unresolved. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available because contactedHosts was not saved.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and obtain the JAR from the project's official release channel. If its source or integrity cannot be verified, test it in an isolated environment before using it with valuable game data or credentials.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- MaxSecure flagged the sample with the generic label 'Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen'.
- The completed sandbox mapped activity to offensive techniques T1543.002 and T1562.001, which warrants caution even though it issued no malicious verdict.
- All 6 inspected dropped children have unknown verdicts, so their absence from the malicious rollup is not definitive.
- contactedHosts=null, meaning no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- Only 1/75 engines flagged the sample, and it was low-trust.
- No malicious sandbox verdict was issued.
- No named malware-family consensus or external-intelligence hit exists.
- droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false.
- MaxSecure produced one generic Trojan detection.
- Sandbox activity included T1543.002 and T1562.001.
- Six dropped children remain individually unresolved.
- No complete contacted-host reputation check is available.
Keep endpoint protection enabled and use a copy obtained directly from the project's official release channel. Re-scan or isolate the JAR if its origin or hash cannot be verified.
