MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

78%Confidence
High
Reasoning

Zero malicious detections from any engine tier, including 17 tier-1 engines, combined with common_old prevalence across nearly 2000 submissions since 2022, strongly indicates a benign if unofficial Minecraft mod. The only notable signal is a medium-severity heuristic on direct-IP contacts without DNS, which is consistent with Unity Ads and Google Ads SDKs embedded in many Android games. No sandbox malice, no malicious dropped files, and no external-intel hits further support a clean classification. Unsigned status is expected for community mods and does not override the engine consensus.

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. engines.malicious=0 and engines.tier1Malicious=0 across 68 reporting engines

  2. prevalence.classification=common_old with 1718 unique sources since 2022-01-22

  3. signing.signed=false with no signerStats history

  4. triggeredHeuristics[0].rule=MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 (20 direct IPs, 0 domains)

  5. droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false and contactedHosts.maliciousHosts.length=0

Points in its favour
  • Zero detections across 68 engines including 17 tier-1
  • Common_old prevalence with 1718 unique sources
  • No malicious children or contacted hosts
  • Long submission history since 2022
Points against
  • Unsigned APK
  • Direct-IP connections without DNS (ad SDK pattern)
  • Obfuscated code and debug-detection tags
Recommended action

The evidence supports treating the file as clean for practical purposes; users should still exercise normal caution with any sideloaded APK.

    Sample contacted 20 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.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk, answered from the scan data above.

  • Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk appears safe. 74 of 74 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only open files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk is an Android app (APK), about 22.9 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk is eb754e378daf72d870063a53f6a2f3aded87752fdf90bf0d9549d6f1e2c4f4e6, and its MD5 is 6f0d3af86dd268c8fe48b2a2de326618. 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.
  • Based on this scan, yes — Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk shows no threat indicators. 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 while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 19, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Jenny_Mod_Minecraft_5.80.apk 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.

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.
