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.
No antivirus engine flagged the file, yet two community YARA rules matched and the sample contacted 14 IPs without domain resolution. The unsigned status and missing host-reputation data leave the risk unresolved.
Zero detections across 76 engines and tier-1 silence argue against active malware classification. However, the YARAify matches on a Cobalt Strike rule and a debugger-check rule, combined with direct-IP traffic and an unsigned PE, create conflicting signals. The file is common_old with 225 submitters, yet the absence of a contactedHosts reputation check prevents confirming whether the IPs are malicious. Similar imphash matches were inconclusive because they lacked signer correlation. These mixed indicators place the sample in the suspicious band.
What We Detected
76 engines scanned the sample; none returned a malicious result. Two YARA rules from YARAify matched: cobalt_strike_tmp01925d3f and DebuggerCheck__API. The executable is unsigned and contacted 14 IP addresses directly without domain names.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox recorded ambient techniques (T1071, T1082, T1083, T1129, T1574.002) but no offensive MITRE techniques and no malicious sandbox verdict. No dropped children or persistence indicators were observed. Host reputation for the contacted IPs is unavailable.
What To Do Now
Do not execute the file. Keep endpoint protection enabled. If the file must be used, run it in an isolated environment and monitor outbound connections to the listed IPs.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- YARAify hit on cobalt_strike_tmp01925d3f could indicate Cobalt Strike loader, but no engine detection and unsigned status leave the signal ambiguous.
- Direct-IP traffic flagged by MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 may be benign installer behaviour; without contactedHosts reputation the C2 hypothesis cannot be confirmed.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/76 engines flagged malicious
- common_old prevalence (225 sources)
- no malicious sandbox verdict
- Unsigned Win32 executable
- YARA rule match on cobalt_strike_tmp01925d3f
- Direct-IP traffic to 14 addresses
- contactedHosts reputation check unavailable
Treat the file as suspicious pending further host-reputation data or additional sandbox runs; keep all security software active.
Behavior
Plain-English impact first, then the observed runtime evidence.
What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
Note: Collects details about your system.
Note: Loads extra code modules while running.
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.
What this file did when executed
This file was detonated in 1 sandbox and its runtime behaviour was observed.

Detection & Forensics
Consensus, attribution, signatures, code structure, prevalence, and identity.
Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
One or more independent reference databases matched 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.
- cobalt_strike_tmp01925d3f
- DebuggerCheck__API
The 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.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.

What to do now
We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.
Don't run it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.
Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.
If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.
Safety FAQ
- Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. No antivirus engine flagged it; the cautious verdict comes from other saved evidence such as identity, prevalence, signing, or runtime signals. Don't run it unless you fully trust where it came from. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
- Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe is a Windows executable program, about 657 KB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
- None — 0 of 76 antivirus engines flagged Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
- Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
- To remove Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
- The SHA-256 hash of Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe is b30dc819d0d632439b16ba324645d03d9d61e3e06fad1d0918f2d5aa35307b31, and its MD5 is c666eaa18eaed0b032a1922acbb9ae60. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 26, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Sugar Lust - Hentai Harem.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
