AI Security Verdict

Low Risk

Confidence: 68%

Risk Score

Genuine, long-established Library Genesis shadow-library aggregator. No phishing, malware, or credential harvesting detected, but it distributes pirated copyrighted content — legal risk, not a security scam.

Risk Factors (2)

Distributes/indexes copyrighted material (piracy) — legal rather than technical risk

External mirror and alternative-domain links that may lead to lower-quality or malicious clones

Safety Factors (6)

Domain age 5243 days, well-established

No Indicators of Compromise matches

No JavaScript malware (YARA) patterns and no obfuscated JS behavior

No network IDS alerts, no cross-origin credential exfiltration

No credential or payment forms (0 password, 0 payment fields)

Verdict cited a credential/login form, but DOM analysis found no password field (real or disguised) or payment field, and no other hard signal — credential-phishing framing unsupported; risk adjusted from 4 to 3

Domain age information unavailable
