Why this verdict

+35
Inconclusive
  • This run did not finish testing the sample, so it is not cleared. Read the analysis notes above for what was missing.
+15
Static analysis
  • Packed (unknown/custom, confidence 76)
+15
Review confirms
  • 3 of 3 local reviews independently read this as suspicious, on top of 20 points the platform measured itself
+5
Runtime behavior
  • 1 evasion behavior(s)
+0
Execution
  • The capability analysis did not finish (capability analysis timed out), so what this file is able to do was never established. The result is inconclusive, not clean.
+0
Model review
  • findings review (advisory, not scored): suspicious - anti-debug timing loop, protector-style packing, registry mru writes, unsupported persistence label
-35
Code signing
  • Valid code signature (Permyakov Ivan Yurievich IP) - trusted provenance; heuristic score discounted below malicious (no definitive malicious evidence)

Model reading

Measured SUSPICIOUS35 of 100

Evidence ledger above, row by row. Published verdict rests on this column and on nothing to its right.

Model reads it asadvisory, no points NOT ASSESSEDnot shown on this page

Reads this report's derived findings, never the sample itself.

A model reading exists for this scan and is shown to the submitter and to staff only. It is a second opinion about evidence the score already priced, it is worth no points, and on a public page it would stand beside the verdict with no grounding a stranger could check.

What the tests returned

8 tests

Each test this run performed and what it returned. A test that was not performed says so rather than reading as a negative result.

TestResult
Persistence mechanismsnone established at runtime
Cross-process injectionnone observed
Payloads written to disknone observed
Network connectionsnot tested - this run had no route out, so an empty network section is a property of the run and not an observation about the sample
Behavioural rule matches (Sigma)none observed
Known-malicious hash (reputation sources)no source reported this file
Local anti-virus enginereported no detection
Capability analysis of the file's codenot checked - the check ran past its time limit and was stopped

Absence of an observation is not proof of absence - see Coverage for what this run could and could not test.

Arguing against malice

  • The file carries a code signature (Permyakov Ivan Yurievich IP).
  • The local anti-virus engine reported no detection.
  • No reputation source reported this file as malicious.

How much weight this carries

Structure only. Structural evidence only. Nothing matching this verdict was seen running. The one fact that decided it: packing detected.

Instrument coverage

3 of 4 measured

What this run was able to observe, as the run itself recorded it. A layer that did not run makes an empty result a fact about the sandbox rather than about the sample.

LayerRanWhat that means
Runtime anti-analysis watch measured Measured. The in-process hook group for debugger, timing and hypervisor checks armed on this run, so an empty signal list means something looked and saw nothing.
API call sequence measured Measured for the hooked anti-analysis calls. It is not a full API trace: the sequence carries interpreter spawns plus the hooked anti-analysis calls, and nothing else.
Explicit module loads measured Measured, with two limits. Only a module the sample asks for by hand is recorded, so one brought in by its own import table never appears, and the hooks arrive a few seconds after a process starts.
Network capture not on this plan Not included on this scan's plan.
Live kernel introspection not measured Not measured. This run did not ask for the memory-dump option, which is what starts the introspection loop.

This lists the layers this run recorded for itself. A layer that is not listed was not recorded either way, so its absence here is not a result.

Antivirus engine

no signature matched signature set 28162 - 3.6M signatures

Nothing in the signature set below matched this file. That is one engine's negative answer against one signature set on one day, and it is not a verdict. A signature engine only recognises what has already been named and published, so a file nobody has named yet scans exactly like a file that is harmless. What this file does when it runs is the stronger evidence; read the behaviour sections for that.

A negative answer is only as good as the signature set that gave it, so the set is recorded with the result and the result can be reproduced against it.

Local ML assessment

no model score

No model score exists for this file: the file is larger than the 32 MB the local model is allowed to read in one scan, so it got a static heuristic instead. That is a gap in coverage and not a finding - the absence of a score here says nothing about the file.

Structural rules of thumb, not a model. 3 cheap static signals fired, for 60 of 100 on a rule-of-thumb scale that is deliberately left out of the verdict score: the packing, entropy and signing cards on this report already price the same facts, and counting them a second time under a machine-learning heading would charge one piece of evidence twice.

Packing
Packed with unknown/custom
Packed code is compressed or encrypted on disk and only appears once the sample runs.

Detonation is the reliable read here A packed file hides its behaviour from a static pass, so the verdict leans on what it does when it runs.

Family configuration search

Not attempted

The sample is 35.5 MB and the config parser pass is bounded at 16.0 MB, so no family parser was run against it - a family configuration may exist in this file and was not looked for. The absence of an extracted configuration is therefore not evidence about this sample.

Capability detection

not completed

The capability analysis of this file's code did not finish, so what the file is able to do was not established from its instructions. This narrows what the run covered - read it alongside Coverage rather than as a finding about the file. Cause: the check ran past its time limit and was stopped.

These say what the file IS or holds - bitness, subsystem, an overlay, an embedded macro stream, which compiler built it. Ordinary files match several, and none of them carry weight in the score.

None of the rules above moved the score. The score model reads four rule categories - anti-vm, anti-debug, dropper and packer - and a rule outside them can match, and be worth reading, without being evidence the verdict is built on.

Anti-analysis API trace

3 APIs · 1 process hooked

Calls counted inside the running sample by in-process hooks. Scored means the call crossed the threshold that separates a deliberate check from what ordinary software does; a call that scored nothing is still listed, with the reason.

APISignalCallsSleepScored
GetTickCount timing 10000 - no corroborates, never convicts on its own - ordinary software calls this
GetTickCount64 timing 10000 - no corroborates, never convicts on its own - ordinary software calls this

Call order 12 events sampled
GetTickCountIsDebuggerPresentGetTickCountGetTickCount64GetTickCount64GetTickCountGetTickCount64GetTickCount64GetTickCountIsDebuggerPresentGetTickCount64GetTickCount

How to read the numbers: a repeated call is sampled at 1, 10, 100 and so on while the run is live and made exact when the process exits, so a count is a floor and not a total. The count kept for a name is the highest a single process reported, not a sum across the process tree. The hooks are placed a few seconds after a process starts, so a check made in the first moments of a launch is missed - and a sample that exits in those first seconds is never watched at all.

Module loads

2 notable · 40 from system directories

Modules the sample asked for by name while it ran, recorded inside its own process. Loads from system and installed-program directories are counted but not listed - what is listed is a module from somewhere else, a load that failed, or one whose loader is the question.

ProcessModuleLoadedWhy listed
VMProtect_2.exe 504 C:\Windows\system32\wintab32.dll no the load failed
VMProtect_2.exe 504 C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf… asked for Comctl32.dll yes resolved by search order, not by a full path

What this list cannot say: only an explicit LoadLibrary call is recorded, so a module the sample brought in through its own import table never appears here - absence from this list is not absence from the process. There is no signature check behind these rows, so an unlisted module is not a module that was verified. The hooks are placed a few seconds after a process starts, so the first loads of a launch are missed.

No WMI attributed to the sample. The WMI-Activity trace was running and recorded 600 operations on the machine during the run; none of them came from the sample's process tree.

Command lines, unwrapped

1 read

1 captured text was read and unwrapped locally. No address was recovered from any of them, and none of them was hiding its own contents behind an encoding or a format string. This is a result, not a gap.

Network activity

The network section is a paid-plan layer: the DNS the sample resolved, the connections it opened, the TLS it negotiated, and the rule engine's reading of the capture.

This run was captured, and what it captured is on a paid plan rather than absent. An internet-connected detonation is the same plan, so a paid run also shows what the sample reached rather than only what it tried.

External reputation was not produced for this scan. Threat intelligence enrichment is a paid-plan layer: every extracted indicator - hashes, addresses, hostnames - is checked against the external reputation services. Our own ingested feeds ran on this scan and every result below is theirs. Adding the paid layer adds an external reputation verdict on each indicator, so VirusTotal, MalwareBazaar and filescan.io are listed below as not checked. See plans.

AI analysis

The AI layer is a paid-plan feature. It reads what the other layers produced - the behaviour summary, the call sequence, the indicator list - and writes the narrative and the kill-chain walkthrough.

Nothing is being withheld. This layer did not run for this scan, so there is no result stored behind the lock.

Extracted files

What came out of the sample: unpacked payloads, carved objects and captured memory. Each one is stored by content hash, so the same object extracted twice is the same row.

No extracted files

Nothing was unpacked or carved out of this sample. Packed samples, documents with embedded objects and installers are the ones that usually produce artifacts here.

Export & download

/s/2931

Structured exports for your SIEM/TIP - ATT&CK Navigator layer, STIX 2.1 bundle, MISP event and a defanged IOC list - are free on every report. The packet capture follows this scan's plan, because a capture is the rawest network output this platform produces.

AI analysis report

An enterprise report with an AI-written executive summary, threat assessment, kill chain, and recommendations, plus the derived evidence (verdict, MITRE ATT&CK, network, file modifications, dropped files, IOCs) and screenshots. The AI narrative is built from derived analysis data only, so the raw sample never leaves the host (no-upload and AI-boundary preserved).
