Is basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf safe?

Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected the PDF, and the completed sandbox run found no malicious activity, dropped payloads, or network contacts.

All 75 antivirus engines produced no detection, including 17 high-trust engines reporting clean results. One completed sandbox run found no malicious activity or network contacts, while curated threat sources supplied no corroborating hits; however, the document is newly observed and has limited reputation history.

Open with normal care

Open only if the document came from an expected source, using an updated PDF reader with endpoint protection enabled. Re-scan it if its behavior changes or later intelligence produces detections.

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines produced no detection, including 17 high-trust engines reporting clean results. One completed sandbox run found no malicious activity or network contacts, while curated threat sources supplied no corroborating hits; however, the document is newly observed and has limited reputation history.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The file is newly observed with only one submission, so it has little established reputation.
  • contactedHosts=null means no separately saved host-reputation cross-check is available, although the sandbox recorded no contacted domains, IPs, or URLs.
  • The five prior safe samples match only by file type, which is weak similarity and cannot establish that this exact PDF shares their contents.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Open only if the document came from an expected source, using an updated PDF reader with endpoint protection enabled. Re-scan it if its behavior changes or later intelligence produces detections.

Is this file safe?
Evidence-based answer
basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
What is this file?
Evidence-based answer
basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf is a document file (application/pdf), about 1.2 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected this file?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this file?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf is c1bbd7756deea3f68c040e81fdd7ed4b3aa3fc08b56e10e6ed066a93e53515ed, and its MD5 is bc9e5c93f3eaabb6f28673acb9f84371. 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.
Is it safe to open this file?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of this file?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 26, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of basic-electrical-engineering-d-p-kothari-and-i-j-nagrath.pdf 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.
