These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Moderate visual risk

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The page presents as a developer utility for generating Lua archive files from Steam Game IDs, with no overt scam patterns visible; the primary concern is the nature of the tool itself (Steam depot/game file extraction) and the non-standard contact email domain, which may warrant further investigation into the tool's intended use.

What our vision model saw

5 signals

Tool generates Lua archive files from Steam Game IDs, which could facilitate game file extraction or modification outside of official channels

Footer references 'revobd.club' domain as contact email host, an unconventional TLD for a developer tool

Navigation links to external tools (DEPO-TOOL, SteamDB, GitHub) appear functional and reference legitimate third-party services

No urgency tactics, countdown timers, fake trust badges, or credential-harvesting forms visible

Page design is clean, minimal, and consistent with a developer utility tool

Confidence
The site presents as a developer utility for generating Lua archive files from Steam Game IDs. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. An independent trust aggregator assigned it an 83% confidence score with low-risk assessment. However, the domain was registered today (0 days old), which is unusual for a tool claiming to be open-source and established on GitHub. The GitHub repository dates to 2020, but the Cloudflare Pages subdomain is brand new. The tool's core function—extracting game files and Lua archives from Steam—sits in a grey area: while the GitHub documentation frames it as a utility for adding games to Steam libraries, similar tools are commonly associated with game piracy and library manipulation. The contact email uses an unconventional domain (revobd.club) rather than the site's own domain, which is atypical for legitimate developer projects. No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews exist for this specific domain, which is expected for a newly deployed site.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a clean, minimal developer tool interface. Users enter a Steam Game ID to generate a Lua archive file. The site references legitimate third-party services (SteamDB, GitHub) and includes a FAQ section. No credential-harvesting forms, countdown timers, fake trust badges, or urgency tactics are present. The body text and navigation are consistent with a utility tool rather than a commercial storefront or phishing page.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on Cloudflare Pages (*.pages.dev subdomain). SSL is valid and issued by Google Trust Services with 60 days to expiry. The hosting IP (172.66.44.151) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. One redirect hop detected, no cross-domain or homoglyph indicators. The site loads external resources from luagen.revobd.club, depotool.pages.dev, steamdb.info, and github.com—all appear functional and legitimate.

Domain History

WHOIS shows the domain is 0 days old with privacy protection disabled. This is the primary red flag: a tool claiming to be open-source and established (GitHub repo from 2020) deployed on a brand-new subdomain today. The GitHub repository (HasibulHasan098/Luagen) describes the tool as ad-free and designed for use with SteamTools. The mismatch between the GitHub project age and the Cloudflare Pages deployment age suggests either a recent migration or a new instance of an existing project.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network: 0 of 92 engines flagged the page as malicious or suspicious. Browser blocklists are clean. An independent trust aggregator assigned an 83% confidence score with low-risk assessment (dated 30/12/2025). No scam reports, complaints, user reviews, or negative mentions found on consumer-review sites or general web searches. Similar tools for Steam file generation exist (steamtools.site, manifestlua.blog, cysaw.org) and are often associated with game piracy or library manipulation, though this specific domain has no documented incidents.

Risk Factors
6
  • Domain registered today (0 days old); brand-new Cloudflare Pages deployment despite GitHub project dating to 2020.
  • Tool's core function (extracting game files and Lua archives from Steam) sits in a grey area between legitimate utility and game piracy facilitation.
  • Contact email uses unconventional domain (revobd.club) instead of the site's own domain, atypical for legitimate developer projects.
  • Cloudflare Pages subdomains are frequently abused for phishing and malware distribution, though no specific incidents tied to this domain.
  • No business registration information found; domain owner hidden in WHOIS.
  • Not indexed in global traffic rankings; no established user base or community presence visible.
Positive Signals

  • All 92 antivirus engines report clean; no malware or phishing flags detected.
  • Browser blocklists are clean; no major blocklist hits.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.

AI Recommendation
Do not use this tool to extract or modify Steam game files outside of official channels, as it may violate Steam's terms of service or facilitate piracy. If you are interested in the tool's functionality, review the GitHub repository source code and documentation first, and understand the legal and terms-of-service implications before proceeding.

Final Verdict

0
Trust / 100
Final Verdict·luagen.pages.dev
SUSPICIOUS

A newly deployed Lua file generator for Steam games with clean antivirus scans and a positive independent trust rating, but the tool's purpose (extracting game files outside official channels) and the brand-new domain registration raise questions about legitimacy and intended use.

Do not use this tool to extract or modify Steam game files outside of official channels, as it may violate Steam's terms of service or facilitate piracy. If you are interested in the tool's functionality, review the GitHub repository source code and documentation first, and understand the legal and terms-of-service implications before proceeding.
