Is Redragon K618RGB-PRO Setup v2.0 20231201.exe safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

No antivirus engine detected malware, but three community YARA matches, unsigned provenance, offensive techniques, and unchecked direct-IP contacts justify caution.

The strongest reassuring evidence is that 0 of 75 engines flagged the installer, including all 17 reporting tier-1 engines, and no sandbox produced a malicious conclusion. However, three community YARA rules matched, one run exposed four offensive techniques, and the direct-IP contacts lack a completed reputation check, so use only a vendor-authenticated download.

Do not install it until verified

Use only a copy downloaded through Redragon's official support channel and verify its hash if the vendor provides one. Keep endpoint protection enabled and quarantine this copy if its origin is uncertain.

The reasoning behind this verdict

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

Analyst conclusion

The strongest reassuring evidence is that 0 of 75 engines flagged the installer, including all 17 reporting tier-1 engines, and no sandbox produced a malicious conclusion. However, three community YARA rules matched, one run exposed four offensive techniques, and the direct-IP contacts lack a completed reputation check, so use only a vendor-authenticated download.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The executable is unsigned: signing.applicable=true and signing.signed=false, so no publisher certificate verifies the claimed product origin.
  • contactedHosts=null leaves the 15 entries in behaviour.contactedIps without a complete reputation cross-check.
  • All 10 inspected dropped children have unknown individual verdicts, although droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false.
  • YARAify's shellcode match may identify embedded executable patterns, but Borland and TLS-callback rules can also match legitimate compiled software.

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

Use only a copy downloaded through Redragon's official support channel and verify its hash if the vendor provides one. Keep endpoint protection enabled and quarantine this copy if its origin is uncertain.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.

  • High concern: Changed an auto-start location that can make code run after sign-in or restart.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).

  • Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.

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.
