Is enbseries_farcry2_v0258.zip safe?
Only 4 of 76 engines detected the archive, but one tier-1 alert and injection-like runtime activity warrant caution despite weak corroboration.
Four of 76 engines flagged this long-observed game-mod archive, with only DrWeb supplying a tier-1 detection and no agreed malware family. One sandbox observed DLL loading, an injector executable, T1562.001, and an unresolved direct-IP connection, so the file should not be run on a primary system without source verification.

Before opening or extracting
Do not open or extract it until the source can be verified independently.
If you already opened or extracted it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Four of 76 engines flagged this long-observed game-mod archive, with only DrWeb supplying a tier-1 detection and no agreed malware family. One sandbox observed DLL loading, an injector executable, T1562.001, and an unresolved direct-IP connection, so the file should not be run on a primary system without source verification.
The antivirus evidence is limited to 4 of 76 engines, and only DrWeb contributed a tier-1 detection. The four labels do not establish a consistent family, while 16 other tier-1 engines reported no detection. Runtime observation included an injector executable, DLL execution through rundll32.exe, T1562.001, and contact with 162.159.36.2, but the sandbox did not issue a malicious verdict or identify persistence. Ten extracted children were inspected without a malicious child finding, although every child remained unclassified rather than confirmed clean. Research feeds supplied no corroborating family or rule hit, and no complete reputation check is available for the contacted IP. These mixed signals fit either a graphics-mod injector triggering heuristics or an unsafe archive, so cautious handling is appropriate.
What We Detected
Four of 76 antivirus engines flagged the ZIP archive. DrWeb reported Trojan.Siggen8.22824 as the sole tier-1 detection, while SentinelOne, MaxSecure, and VBA32 used differing generic or heuristic labels. There is no strong tier-1 family consensus, and 16 other tier-1 engines reported no detection.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run observed ENBInjector.exe and DLLs launched through rundll32.exe, along with T1562.001 and a connection to 162.159.36.2. Such loading and injection patterns may occur in game graphics modifications, but they also overlap with malware techniques. The sandbox produced no malicious verdict and recorded no persistence indicators. Ten extracted children were checked without a malicious finding, though all remained unclassified. No complete host-reputation result is available for the contacted IP.
What To Do Now
Verify the archive hash and download location against the mod author's official release channel before extracting it. Keep endpoint protection enabled, avoid running it on a primary system until verified, and use an isolated test environment if further examination is necessary.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- DrWeb reported Trojan.Siggen8.22824, providing one high-trust malware signal despite the absence of broader tier-1 agreement.
- The sandbox observed T1562.001 and execution of ENBInjector.exe plus DLLs through rundll32.exe, behavior that can resemble defense evasion or injection.
- contactedHosts=null leaves the reputation of 162.159.36.2 unresolved; the direct-no complete contacted-host reputation result was 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.
- Only 4 of 76 engines flagged the archive.
- Sixteen of 17 reporting tier-1 engines did not detect malware.
- behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false.
- droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false.
- CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, and YARAify supplied no corroborating hit.
- DrWeb reported Trojan.Siggen8.22824.
- Sandbox activity included ENBInjector.exe and DLL execution through rundll32.exe.
- T1562.001 was observed during runtime analysis.
- The file contacted 162.159.36.2 without a completed host-reputation cross-check.
- All 10 extracted children remain unclassified.
Obtain the archive only from the mod author's official release channel and verify its SHA-256 before use. Keep security protection enabled and test it in isolation if authenticity cannot be established.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.
High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
Moderate concern: Communicates over the network in a non-standard way.
Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.
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.

Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
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.
