The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Reasoning

Filename and heuristics align with research tools that perform anti-analysis to evade sandboxes, explaining MITRE T1055 injection and direct IP contact. Tier-1 engines flag it as riskware or generic trojan, but lack family agreement and are outweighed by clean sandbox behavior and absence of malicious children/hosts. No signing or prevalence history, but no adversarial flags or external intel hits contradict the safe research tool shape. We lean safe per established patterns for such unsigned tools.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. Fortinet (tier1): Riskware/4N4LDetector

  2. Panda (tier2): PUP/Hacktool (labelFlags.hacktool=true)

  3. triggeredHeuristics['security_tool_classifier']: fired=true, evidence['dominantLabels=Riskware/4N4LDetector|PUP/Hacktool']

  4. behaviour.processes: rundll32.exe loading capstone.dll + Qt5Core.dll

  5. file.tags: ['detect-debug-environment']

Points in its favour
  • Research tool heuristics fired
  • Capstone.dll + Qt libs (legit for analysis tools)
  • No malicious sandbox verdict
  • No bad dropped children or hosts
Points against
  • Unsigned executable
  • Rare new file (1 submission)
  • Process injection (T1055)
  • Direct IP contact (no DNS)
What to do

This is a safe research tool despite heuristic flags. Extract and run in a VM if testing anti-analysis features, but no deletion needed.

  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 1 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
