[Click to reveal]Just a heads-up for anyone downloading this—ESET flagged it as a trojan. Not sure if it's a false positive or a real issue, but it might be worth checking before running it.

Hi. It's False Positive for sure

Will the correct password cause flag.exe to be launched or is that a red herring?

Yes correct password will decrypt and lauch flag.exe

This crackme had been reviewed when it was originally approved and is likely safe.
Crackmes often get flagged by antivirus software, EDR systems, or VirusTotal because they may use the same protection techniques found in malware (packers, anti-debugging, self-modifying code, etc.), or simply a false positive. This does NOT mean the crackme is actually malicious.
The only way to confirm whether something is truly malware is to reverse engineer it and find proof of malicious code and/or malicious behavior.
If you still believe this is actual malware, please report it to us via email: crackmesone@gmail.com.
**We encourage everyone to run crackmes in a VM (virtual machine) and exercise caution when executing unknown binaries.**
*Disclaimer: We do our best to review submissions, but mistakes can happen. The administrators and crackmes.one cannot be held liable for any damages or losses resulting from the use of files downloaded from this site. Always exercise caution and use a sandboxed environment.*
