Baseless Malware Accusations Don't Hold Value

Every day, people freak out whenever someone uses a game cheat. We hear it constantly:

• "It steals your information"
• "It's a cryptocurrency miner"
• "It'll destroy your computer"

Lets be real, these claims are based on pure vibes and incomplete logic. Unfortunately, the game cheating market isn't the most clean market out there either, so it's hard to trust in the first place.

Sometimes it's just people repeating what they've heard. Other times, it may an anecdotal story that linked behaviors from other software or, more simply, general computer issues, to a game cheat, simply because they were already skeptical when downloading it. However, be aware that blame doesn't mean guilt, and in most cases, game cheats are safe. 

For the most part, it’s just people repeating what they’ve heard or assuming things based on fear, not facts. So let’s break this down in a way that actually makes sense.

Why Do Cheats Get Flagged?

Game cheats like JJSploit edit how the game runs. That means they have to read and change memory in your computer. This looks suspicious to antivirus software, but that doesn't mean it’s harmful. The cheat fundamentally has to change how the game works in order to manipulate it.

Antivirus programs are cautious. They'd rather yeet your program in the trash if it isn’t signed by a known company. They’ll often flag programs just to be safe. That’s called a false positive, and it happens all the time, especially with game mods and cheats.

"But My Antivirus Said It’s a Virus!"

Antivirus companies put way too much trust in certificates, and not enough in actual behavior. Even when heuristics get involved, even simple, legitimate things, like adding registry keys, may be flagged as "malicious" to a sandbox, even though it might just be used to store settings.

You may ask then, why don't we sign our programs? And it's because getting a code signing certificate costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year, and it's not worth it for a free tool like JJSploit. It’s basically a “pay-to-look-legit” system. Even actual malware developers buy code signing certificates to trick antivirus software. You also have to register a business and get validated, and this can also cost hundreds to thousands of dollars a year, and it's simply not worth it for us, especially since Roblox can target our certificate as a detection vector or means to gain legal momentum against us if we decide to sign our programs.

"My Triage/Any.Run Sandbox Says It's Malicious"

It also thinks half of GitHub is a threat. Let’s break this down:

Sandbox tools like Triage or Any.Run are meant for malware analysts. These people have years of experience in reverse engineering and they know how to differentiate legitimate flagged behavior from malicious flagged behavior. The "malicious" warning you see is more of a recommendation, a "hey make sure this is legit" motion for the analyst, not a full-fledged "this will ruin your computer" warning.

Simply put, these tools are not designed for random users clicking buttons and expecting a big red or green light. Nuance matters, especially in the context of heuristics. Sandbox tools don’t hand out "virus or not" verdicts. They highlight behaviors. It’s your job to know what they mean.

Stop Making Assumptions

If you're accusing JJSploit of being a virus just because it acts in ways you don’t understand, you’re actively spreading misinformation. Here's what you should do if you're concerned:

• Use capturing tools like Wireshark and MITMProxy to watch network traffic and check for data exfiltration
• Track system activity with Procmon to see what files, registry keys, and system internals it touches.
• Load it up in IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or your favorite disassembler and start tearing apart the software.

And if that’s too much for you? Maybe don’t make bold claims about stuff you don’t understand.

"But My Friend Said It’s a Virus"

Yeah, your friend probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about either. A lot of this drama comes from people repeating rumors they saw on Discord, Reddit, or some sketchy forum. One person says “it’s a virus,” and now everyone thinks it’s a fact. It’s not always true.

Are There Malicious Cheats Out There?

Yes, some cheats are malicious. Usually they’re from random sketchy websites, not known sources. That’s why we always tell people to download JJSploit from the official site.

If you downloaded from somewhere else, you might actually have a problem. Typosquatting exists, and it exists for JJSploit too. That’s on you if you chose to trust SEO more than the source.

TL;DR / Wrap-Up

• JJSploit is not malware.
• Antivirus software flags it because it behaves like other tools that edit memory.
• That doesn’t mean it’s harmful.
• If you want to be sure, analyze it like a real researcher and don’t blindly believe rumors.
• Use trusted sources. Don’t download cheats from sketchy sites.
• Think before you accuse.
• Use your critical thinking skills and keep emotion out of it.
