Do people trust it?, 30 out of 30 points
  • Good: Stars. 88,883 people starred it.

    Stars are like bookmarks. Malware repos rarely have many real users, and lots of stars means lots of people have looked at it. Stars can be bought, so we also check how fast they came.

  • Good: Forks. 58,747 copies made by other developers.

    A fork is a copy another developer made to build on. Real projects get copied; fake ones rarely do.

  • Good: Owner history. Organization created 2.9 years ago.

    Scammers use brand-new accounts that get banned and replaced. An owner who has been around for years has more to lose.

Is anyone looking after it?, 25 out of 25 points
  • Good: Recent updates. Last change 2 days ago.

    Software nobody updates stops getting security fixes.

  • Good: Track record. Repo is 3.6 years old.

    Older projects have had more time for problems to be spotted and reported.

  • Good: Releases. Publishes versioned releases.

    A release is an official, finished version. Without one, you download whatever is in the code that day.

Is it open about itself?, 12 out of 15 points
  • Good: License. Uses the MIT license.

    A license says whether you're allowed to use it. Serious projects almost always have one.

  • Good: Instructions. Has a README that explains the project.

    A README explains what the project does and how to use it. Malware often has a thin or copied one.

  • So-so: Security contact. No security policy file.

    A security policy tells people how to report problems privately, so they get fixed before attackers use them.

Any malware tricks?, 30 out of 30 points
  • Good: No warning signs found. We didn't find any of the common malware tricks.

    We look for tricks that keep showing up in malware: requests to turn off antivirus, locked zip files, cracks and free premium, hidden code, and AI instruction files that try to take over your assistant. Serious ones cap the grade, however popular the repo is.
