Is cute beanie.obj safe?

Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected this newly submitted OBJ-like text asset, and available external intelligence provides no corroborating malware indicators.

All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including 16 tier-1 engines that reported no finding. The sample is an unsigned-by-design text asset, but it is newly observed and lacks runtime analysis, so normal source verification remains appropriate.

Open with normal care

Use the file only if it came from an expected source, opening it with updated trusted software while keeping endpoint protection enabled. Re-scan if its contents or source change.

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including 16 tier-1 engines that reported no finding. The sample is an unsigned-by-design text asset, but it is newly observed and lacks runtime analysis, so normal source verification remains appropriate.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • prevalence.classification='rare_new' records only 1 source and 1 submission, so the sample has virtually no established reputation.
  • behaviour=null means no runtime execution evidence is available.
  • contactedHosts=null means no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
  • One of 5 file-type-only similar hashes received a suspicious verdict, and these broad file-type matches are not strong identity evidence.

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 the file only if it came from an expected source, opening it with updated trusted software while keeping endpoint protection enabled. Re-scan if its contents or source change.

6 evidence-based answers
Is cute beanie.obj safe?
Evidence-based answer
cute beanie.obj 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 cute beanie.obj?
Evidence-based answer
cute beanie.obj is a file (application/octet-stream), about 261 KB. 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 cute beanie.obj?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged cute beanie.obj. 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 cute beanie.obj?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of cute beanie.obj is e8e56ec173d88d709c35b447c1f1dc4b77470e9e4ce3211e5dbe6d66fdf19f9c, and its MD5 is 4cf87c17a04da8a6f9995e5ff60a8e8f. 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 cute beanie.obj?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, cute beanie.obj 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 cute beanie.obj?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 14, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of cute beanie.obj 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.
