i tried scanning this via chatgpt and this is what i got, i scanned both the dll, and exe.
d2651e7d.exe
File
can you see if this is safe.
I checked the uploaded d2651e7d.exe statically.
I would not consider it safe to run yet.
A few things stand out:
- It is a Windows 64-bit executable, about 1.36 MB.
- It imports networking functions from WS2_32.dll and has WinHTTP-related strings, meaning it can communicate over the network.
- More importantly, it contains functionality/strings associated with process injection:
- OpenProcess
- VirtualAllocEx
- WriteProcessMemory
- CreateRemoteThread
- LoadLibrary
- It explicitly contains strings such as:
- Failed to inject NativeLoader.dll
- NativeLoader.dll
- Product DLL loading
- Already Injected
- Loader controller socket
- /loader/login
- It requests highestAvailable Windows privileges.
- It is not digitally signed according to the PE security directory.
- Its embedded timestamp is September 1, 2026.
That doesn't automatically mean it's malware. The wording strongly suggests this may be a
DLL injector/loader, which can be legitimate for things like game modding, but the same techniques are also commonly used by malware.
I would not double-click it on your main PC yet.
If you tell me
where you got this EXE / what program it's supposed to be, I can investigate the file's identity and compare its hash against known/public sources. The SHA-256 I extracted is:
05382bb9d0f2a113fad2ab4c9de271cd252ad e b75db8432c1dc91e9531f9c9a0
no other stuff that may seem like its a rat/stealer
Yeah — if you're specifically looking for
RAT/stealer behavior, that's the right thing to investigate. The injection APIs alone don't prove it's a RAT.
From the static indicators I can see, I
don't see an obvious smoking gun like:
- Credential/browser password theft
- Cookies/session-token theft
- Discord token harvesting
- Crypto-wallet targeting
- Keylogging
- Screenshot/webcam capture
- Persistence mechanisms such as Run keys or scheduled tasks
- Windows Defender tampering
- Ransomware/file-encryption behavior
- Obvious C2 commands such as a hidden reverse shell
However, there
are network/loader components, including WinHTTP and the "Loader controller socket" / "/loader/login" strings. Combined with NativeLoader.dll injection, that's enough that I wouldn't call it clean without going deeper.
The SHA-256 is:
05382bb9d0f2a113fad2ab4c9de271cd252adeb75db8432c1dc91e9531f9c9a0
If you want, I can do a
much deeper RAT/stealer-focused inspection of this exact EXE—looking specifically for browser/Discord token theft, credential access, persistence, C2 addresses/domains, obfuscation, anti-analysis, and suspicious Windows APIs.
NativeLoader.dll
File
now this
I checked NativeLoader.dll much more deeply, specifically for
RAT/stealer indicators.
Verdict: I don't see evidence of a RAT/stealer
This DLL is
24.5 MB and contains a large embedded Java/Vape client. The package names and classes strongly identify it as a
Vape.gg Minecraft client native component, rather than a generic Windows RAT.
I specifically looked for:
Discord token stealing — nothing found- Chrome/Edge/Firefox password extraction — nothing found
- Browser cookie databases — nothing found
- Crypto-wallet theft — nothing found
- Telegram credential theft — nothing found
- Keylogger — nothing found
- Screenshot capture — nothing found
- Webcam capture — nothing found
- Windows startup/Run-key persistence — nothing found
- Credential Manager harvesting — nothing found
- CryptUnprotectData/DPAPI usage — nothing found
The cookie strings I found are from
Netty's normal HTTP cookie library, not browser-cookie harvesting. Likewise, keystroke is associated with Vape's
Keystrokes HUD, and AccountCredentials is an actual Vape class for Minecraft account authentication.
Things that are expected but worth noting
The DLL does have:
- GetAsyncKeyState
- Clipboard APIs
- Network sockets
- HTTP functionality
- Java/Minecraft authentication code
- Native code for injecting/bridging into Minecraft
Those sound scary in isolation, but they're consistent with what a Minecraft client/modification like Vape needs to do.
In particular, I found actual Minecraft/Xbox authentication code that communicates with Microsoft's authentication endpoints. That's
very different from silently stealing browser credentials.
The DLL exports only:
and identifies itself internally as
Vape421Native.dll.
One important connection
The previous d2651e7d.exe specifically contained:
Failed to inject NativeLoader.dll
and this DLL contains the Vape native runtime.
So the two files appear to be
related components of the same loader/client, rather than the EXE randomly downloading an unrelated malicious DLL.
Based on the static analysis, I don't see RAT/stealer behavior in this DLL. I would still avoid calling it
100% safe solely from static analysis, but this is substantially less suspicious than the initial EXE looked when we only saw its injection functionality.
SHA-256 of this DLL:
