Investigation Brief

goon-foss.org is a landing page for a free, ad-free Android client that indexes publicly available adult-scene metadata. The site explicitly states it does not host or proxy content. The only commercial CTAs are optional crypto donations and a direct APK download link. The domain is 93 days old and one antivirus engine flagged the site as suspicious while 55 others did not.

Technical checks and distribution method

The site instructs visitors to download an APK file and enable 'install from unknown sources' in Android settings.

the multi-engine malware scan shows one isolated 'suspicious' detection out of 92 engines; no broad consensus of malice.

Operator transparency and monetization

The project is released under an MIT license with an explicit 'no warranty' clause and restricts access to 18+ jurisdictions.

Donations are solicited in Monero, Bitcoin, and Litecoin to cover server and API costs; no other monetization is present.

Why the score is 62

Direct APK distribution outside Google Play requires users to bypass Android's standard security checks. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Evidence behind this classification

  2. 02One engine on the multi-engine malware scan marked the site suspicious while the remaining 55 returned clean.

If this is a scam — what it means for you

What a visitor actually does and the resulting exposure

A visitor clicks the 'Download the APK' button, saves the file, and must manually allow installation from unknown sources before the app can run.

If this is a scam, how it works

The evidence-backed path

Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.

  1. Once installed, the app connects to public metadata sources (TPDB, StashDB) and displays scene information; the site states it does not host or stream any adult video files itself.

If you need the functionality, consider compiling the open-source client yourself or waiting for wider third-party APK audits; otherwise, treat the direct download as carrying the usual risks of sideloading unverified Android packages.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    If you need the functionality, consider compiling the open-source client yourself or waiting for wider third-party APK audits; otherwise, treat the direct download as carrying the usual risks of sideloading unverified Android packages.

  2. Treat goon-foss.org as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is goon-foss.org a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give goon-foss.org a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 3 months old — recently-registered sites carry more risk. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is goon-foss.org safe to use?
goon-foss.org has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has goon-foss.org been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged goon-foss.org as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is goon-foss.org on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — goon-foss.org is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the goon-foss.org domain?
goon-foss.org is 3 months old, registered on May 21, 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does goon-foss.org have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — goon-foss.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 55 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is goon-foss.org hosted?
goon-foss.org resolves to an IP operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in FI (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the goon-foss.org report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 23, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about goon-foss.org has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
