Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video begins with the presenter discussing a potentially suspicious software known as 'Opie Auto Clicker.' A subscriber reported questionable behavior on their computer after downloading it. The presenter explains that they conducted an online search to determine if the software is legitimate and notes similarities between two projects, one of which is identified as malware called 'Auto Clicker Professional.' The presenter decides to investigate by analyzing the software's exe file and uploading it to VirusTotal for scanning. The analysis reveals suspicious activity, including the presence of a file named '996e.exe' in the temp folder, which is considered a clear indication of a virus.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The video continues with the presenter discussing how malicious software often uses the local app data section to avoid detection. While observing the auto clicker's processes, they are initially unable to find anything particularly malicious. However, they theorize about malware potentially executing differently in a virtual machine environment. The presenter then tests the auto clicker with a game to check its performance. Despite the software functioning as an auto clicker, they suspect it to be a Trojan based on unexplained file creation and deletion within the temp directory. They emphasize the importance of caution and using reliable security software.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:16:45

    In the final segment, the presenter evaluates other auto clicker variants, testing them against VirusTotal to help guide viewers in identifying secure options. They discuss the limitations of antivirus software and stress the importance of safe computing habits. The presenter suggests using AutoHotKey as a safer alternative to generic auto clickers. Although they find 'Op Auto Clicker' potentially safe based on their tests, they advise exercising caution as their assessment isn't exhaustive. The video concludes with the presenter offering a tentative recommendation for the software while planning to focus on their personal interests, wishing viewers well.

  • 00:00:00
    hello everybody today we're going to be
  • 00:00:01
    looking at some potentially shady
  • 00:00:03
    software
  • 00:00:04
    called opie auto clicker this subscriber
  • 00:00:06
    commented about saying that they had
  • 00:00:08
    downloaded this and then had immediately
  • 00:00:10
    noticed some
  • 00:00:11
    very questionable behavior on their
  • 00:00:13
    computer so i'm going to take a look and
  • 00:00:15
    see if this is in fact
  • 00:00:17
    malware or what's really going on here
  • 00:00:19
    now
  • 00:00:20
    of course i googled it because i was
  • 00:00:21
    sort of curious
  • 00:00:23
    because i wasn't i was not going to make
  • 00:00:24
    a video about a legitimate software
  • 00:00:27
    and i wanted to see so i google it and
  • 00:00:29
    it seems like these two projects are the
  • 00:00:31
    same thing because if you click
  • 00:00:33
    auto clicker professional interesting so
  • 00:00:36
    this
  • 00:00:37
    is definitely malware auto clicker
  • 00:00:39
    professional
  • 00:00:40
    and it seems to have shut down so
  • 00:00:43
    hopefully these are different projects i
  • 00:00:45
    don't think they are but
  • 00:00:47
    we can hope so we're gonna
  • 00:00:50
    look at this exe first of all it doesn't
  • 00:00:53
    even show an icon in chrome but it
  • 00:00:54
    doesn't
  • 00:00:56
    i didn't get the right piece but okay
  • 00:01:00
    so this is the cd piece of software that
  • 00:01:02
    apparently
  • 00:01:04
    at least just open about what it is i
  • 00:01:06
    guess we can we can give it that
  • 00:01:08
    not that that means it's legitimate
  • 00:01:11
    let's upload
  • 00:01:13
    to virustotal
  • 00:01:16
    so what do we
  • 00:01:19
    detect vm ooh that's that's sketch
  • 00:01:24
    holder false positive
  • 00:01:28
    some people think it's false positive
  • 00:01:31
    well detecting your mouse does not make
  • 00:01:34
    it a false positive that is
  • 00:01:37
    plenty of plenty of legitimate software
  • 00:01:39
    does that you're not going to get
  • 00:01:41
    oh come on for [ __ ] sake you're saying
  • 00:01:43
    this is a false this isn't a false
  • 00:01:45
    positive
  • 00:01:46
    so it's starting and terminating
  • 00:01:49
    996e.exe
  • 00:01:50
    look simple rule you should understand
  • 00:01:54
    anything in temp that is an exe or
  • 00:01:56
    anything
  • 00:01:57
    with random letters and numbers
  • 00:01:58
    especially intent that is an exe is a
  • 00:02:00
    virus there is no two ways about it
  • 00:02:03
    this is not legitimate software
  • 00:02:06
    this is a virus so
  • 00:02:10
    let's take a look and see what virus
  • 00:02:11
    turtle has jujubox which is usually
  • 00:02:14
    quite good
  • 00:02:14
    yeah so it's it's setting itself up
  • 00:02:17
    in this file no this is
  • 00:02:21
    ac lim what is ac moon
  • 00:02:25
    auto clicker library oh
  • 00:02:28
    so that that might be legitimate
  • 00:02:34
    software
  • 00:02:37
    so yeah that could be
  • 00:02:41
    that's odd
  • 00:02:45
    it's kind of odd to be creating those
  • 00:02:46
    kind of files okay let's execute it
  • 00:02:50
    it might behave differently because
  • 00:02:51
    we're using a vm because it says it does
  • 00:02:53
    that
  • 00:02:54
    so let's see this looks like an auto
  • 00:02:58
    clicker
  • 00:02:59
    let's go to cookie clicker
  • 00:03:02
    that persuaded
  • 00:03:08
    let's just for the purposes of
  • 00:03:09
    simplicity just say let's repeated this
  • 00:03:13
    10 000 times so that should take
  • 00:03:17
    a couple of seconds
  • 00:03:24
    the auto clicker definitely does work
  • 00:03:27
    how many cookies are we gonna get
  • 00:03:29
    a lot of cookies i hope i love this game
  • 00:03:32
    i used to play all the time it's a good
  • 00:03:34
    game
  • 00:03:34
    so we'll know we'll know we're done when
  • 00:03:37
    we get to 10 000 cookies
  • 00:03:47
    [Music]
  • 00:03:51
    no i think that's enough let's just get
  • 00:03:53
    some cookie forms while we're at it
  • 00:03:54
    because that's where cookies really come
  • 00:03:56
    from don't listen to anyone who says
  • 00:03:57
    they baked
  • 00:03:58
    okay so well let's just try lowering the
  • 00:04:02
    delay and then we can
  • 00:04:03
    activate this again
  • 00:04:08
    that field that does not feel like 1 000
  • 00:04:11
    cookies a second
  • 00:04:14
    it could be i think i think we're out
  • 00:04:16
    speeding the game at this point
  • 00:04:21
    so far this does seem like some sort of
  • 00:04:23
    auto clicker but
  • 00:04:25
    this is what's called a trojan and the
  • 00:04:28
    reason it's called a trojan is because
  • 00:04:30
    it works software like this is clearly
  • 00:04:33
    actually
  • 00:04:34
    auto clicking but it's also potentially
  • 00:04:36
    up to no good
  • 00:04:39
    now this is different from the one that
  • 00:04:42
    our commenter
  • 00:04:44
    ran into so i'm not entirely clear if
  • 00:04:48
    this is the same
  • 00:04:50
    variant or a different variant
  • 00:04:54
    so let's take more of a look so it's now
  • 00:04:56
    installed ac
  • 00:04:57
    lib app data
  • 00:05:01
    they'll often they'll go to local app
  • 00:05:02
    data which does two things one is if
  • 00:05:04
    you're in an active directory domain it
  • 00:05:06
    will not
  • 00:05:07
    move across but that doesn't really
  • 00:05:10
    matter for most of you
  • 00:05:12
    and the other thing that app data does
  • 00:05:16
    is it defeats
  • 00:05:20
    nothing interesting so far is that most
  • 00:05:23
    people look in
  • 00:05:24
    roaming app data not local amp data
  • 00:05:28
    so nothing in here
  • 00:05:31
    but on the other virtual environment
  • 00:05:35
    so i've been local temp
  • 00:05:38
    [Music]
  • 00:05:39
    and it created a bunch of so apparently
  • 00:05:41
    at some point it's creating and deleting
  • 00:05:43
    these files but they are random
  • 00:05:45
    letters and numbers so close it
  • 00:05:50
    let's start watching the process because
  • 00:05:53
    if this is doing something malicious
  • 00:05:56
    probably only isn't super welcome
  • 00:06:01
    so let's see if there's any weird
  • 00:06:04
    processes
  • 00:06:06
    that's dcc could be normal
  • 00:06:10
    i'm not an expert on every process in
  • 00:06:12
    the windows system just
  • 00:06:13
    just a lot of them a lot of service
  • 00:06:16
    hosts
  • 00:06:16
    toss coast vga vmware
  • 00:06:20
    owen just bloody this is rubbish
  • 00:06:24
    [Music]
  • 00:06:26
    yes winzip you are complete garbage you
  • 00:06:29
    are the definition of crapware
  • 00:06:31
    hate wins it i've hated it since i was
  • 00:06:34
    in l or middle school and it was there
  • 00:06:37
    evil okay so
  • 00:06:41
    so far we have not found any evidence of
  • 00:06:43
    dishonesty
  • 00:06:45
    although i cannot understand what these
  • 00:06:47
    files are for they don't
  • 00:06:48
    oh maybe they do okay okay
  • 00:06:51
    why i think it's just weirdly written
  • 00:06:56
    software
  • 00:06:58
    although these registry keys
  • 00:07:05
    the other possibility is it is vmware
  • 00:07:08
    because the most the smartest trojans
  • 00:07:10
    what they'll do
  • 00:07:11
    is they will create vm aware malware
  • 00:07:15
    that instead of what most vmware malware
  • 00:07:18
    does which is just not do anything in
  • 00:07:20
    the virtual machine
  • 00:07:22
    instead this type of vm aware malware
  • 00:07:25
    will hide and it will just operate
  • 00:07:28
    normally
  • 00:07:28
    it just won't execute the malicious
  • 00:07:30
    payload but the rest of it does execute
  • 00:07:33
    so let's try to find more auto quicker
  • 00:07:35
    [Music]
  • 00:07:36
    we go to order clicker free
  • 00:07:41
    let's see what we find free mouse
  • 00:07:43
    clicker this could be a virus
  • 00:07:46
    weird-looking ui seems kind of kind of
  • 00:07:51
    fake download but that's just grammar
  • 00:07:55
    no we don't want to start a pdf software
  • 00:07:59
    let's also give this one a virus total
  • 00:08:01
    because maybe they're right
  • 00:08:02
    oh this is still looking pretty good
  • 00:08:05
    well you've already executed it so if it
  • 00:08:07
    did anything it's done it
  • 00:08:10
    okay cloud like these are not super well
  • 00:08:13
    known secure age
  • 00:08:15
    apex is something that many people
  • 00:08:18
    on my video on my last video commented
  • 00:08:21
    and saying that this is useless
  • 00:08:24
    false positive so
  • 00:08:28
    yeah so secure age apex apparently
  • 00:08:33
    has had some sort of looks interesting
  • 00:08:38
    so his laptop has become slow
  • 00:08:42
    is it a bitcoin miner
  • 00:08:51
    so it must have been some sort of
  • 00:08:54
    so it buried itself in windows and
  • 00:08:58
    that's incredible yeah it was obviously
  • 00:09:01
    some sort of bitcoin miner
  • 00:09:05
    so what i think is happening
  • 00:09:09
    that's an ai it's not very good it's
  • 00:09:10
    completely rubbish but
  • 00:09:12
    so i think that one it was some sort of
  • 00:09:14
    boot kit
  • 00:09:15
    and sometimes they can reinstall
  • 00:09:17
    themselves they can survive windows and
  • 00:09:18
    stalls
  • 00:09:19
    if they're able to get into the right
  • 00:09:22
    places if you
  • 00:09:23
    don't format the drive it can hide out
  • 00:09:26
    in windows.old which windows will still
  • 00:09:28
    look at and
  • 00:09:29
    probably it figured out how that process
  • 00:09:31
    works
  • 00:09:32
    and came back from the dead okay let's
  • 00:09:36
    try
  • 00:09:37
    so far so good so far our auto clickers
  • 00:09:39
    are legitimate
  • 00:09:40
    so to the viewer who sent this question
  • 00:09:43
    i strongly recommend using malwarebytes
  • 00:09:45
    not windows defender which can be quite
  • 00:09:46
    ineffective at
  • 00:09:48
    catching actual malware and
  • 00:09:52
    not paying for it you don't need the
  • 00:09:53
    paid version all you need is the scan
  • 00:09:55
    you don't need the real-time protection
  • 00:09:57
    all you have to do is scan
  • 00:09:59
    your full scan of your pc just go here
  • 00:10:01
    and want to do advanced
  • 00:10:04
    and we want to be scanned now actually
  • 00:10:05
    we just want to do the regular skin
  • 00:10:08
    and that will go through and that will
  • 00:10:09
    find any problems
  • 00:10:13
    hopefully it's not nothing is perfect
  • 00:10:18
    no okay these are all
  • 00:10:21
    so opi auto clicker is very popular
  • 00:10:25
    i can't comment on if there is a
  • 00:10:26
    malicious version but i i think it's
  • 00:10:28
    real
  • 00:10:29
    free roblox i want a free roblox
  • 00:10:35
    so can i i can get free robux and
  • 00:10:39
    this looks like some kid's video this is
  • 00:10:41
    probably not malware
  • 00:10:45
    sometimes malware can be really
  • 00:10:46
    disappointing like sometimes it's
  • 00:10:48
    everywhere
  • 00:10:50
    pre-private auto clicker release
  • 00:10:53
    how to use the best free autoflicker
  • 00:10:57
    forge auto clicker it's interesting how
  • 00:10:59
    they're all on sourceforge
  • 00:11:01
    like all of them
  • 00:11:04
    so here we go let's install this one
  • 00:11:08
    no complaints about the real one
  • 00:11:12
    i know it's really a virus it'll
  • 00:11:14
    probably get more hits on virus total
  • 00:11:18
    but we don't oh
  • 00:11:22
    that's weird that
  • 00:11:25
    that's sketch most legitimate software
  • 00:11:29
    does not come in a one file zip
  • 00:11:33
    it's kind of a weird place to store
  • 00:11:35
    legitimate software it's a great place
  • 00:11:37
    to store malware
  • 00:11:40
    okay so this one
  • 00:11:43
    seemingly virus total has never seen
  • 00:11:45
    before which makes it all the more
  • 00:11:46
    exciting to see
  • 00:11:47
    whether it will turn out to be malicious
  • 00:11:50
    oh
  • 00:11:52
    heuristic agent
  • 00:11:55
    trojan generic okay
  • 00:12:00
    so secureage apex is seemingly attacking
  • 00:12:02
    a microsoft
  • 00:12:04
    yeah if microsoft is hitting it
  • 00:12:08
    you know a lot of people ask me do i
  • 00:12:09
    disable windows defender no i do not i
  • 00:12:11
    don't need to microsoft is horrible at
  • 00:12:13
    catching
  • 00:12:14
    as is most antiviruses like i i'm not
  • 00:12:16
    going to recommend one
  • 00:12:18
    what i recommend is common sense and
  • 00:12:20
    caution because
  • 00:12:21
    none of these programs are perfect some
  • 00:12:24
    have really like bit defender is one of
  • 00:12:26
    the
  • 00:12:26
    most reputable casper ski is that here
  • 00:12:29
    is that
  • 00:12:30
    anything oh undetected
  • 00:12:33
    so how about we find out if this one is
  • 00:12:38
    and judy boxes ready so
  • 00:12:41
    details nothing
  • 00:12:44
    nothing overly you know set up oh that's
  • 00:12:47
    interesting because the redditor who
  • 00:12:49
    pointed out to the virus they said there
  • 00:12:51
    is used inno setup
  • 00:12:53
    so give it a moment just to see how the
  • 00:12:57
    jujubox is going to
  • 00:13:00
    catch anything
  • 00:13:04
    so i don't think we can
  • 00:13:08
    no winzip is completely useless i
  • 00:13:11
    hate it really there is nothing more
  • 00:13:14
    useless than winston let's see what
  • 00:13:15
    malwarebytes
  • 00:13:16
    says this is
  • 00:13:21
    nope
  • 00:13:26
    oh small screen though doesn't like it
  • 00:13:28
    but okay let's just run it anyways
  • 00:13:34
    install from me only
  • 00:13:39
    okay this is super sketchy
  • 00:13:46
    are we even gonna get an order oh
  • 00:13:50
    that's that's no that's a nope that's
  • 00:13:56
    flynn's forge this is such a weird
  • 00:14:00
    software okay
  • 00:14:04
    flynnforge.com you know maybe
  • 00:14:08
    that's such weird software
  • 00:14:13
    okay let's go hunting see if we've got
  • 00:14:16
    any
  • 00:14:17
    if this one is not malware i'm going to
  • 00:14:19
    give up on this concept and just assume
  • 00:14:21
    that
  • 00:14:22
    most auto clickers are in fact safe and
  • 00:14:25
    the malware in that case was probably
  • 00:14:28
    already installed on our user's computer
  • 00:14:30
    which is quite common that the malware
  • 00:14:32
    either he found a malicious link for
  • 00:14:35
    legitimate software which does happen he
  • 00:14:37
    may have ended up on a different website
  • 00:14:40
    or did malware already that may have
  • 00:14:44
    slipped more malware into his installer
  • 00:14:46
    that's quite common
  • 00:14:48
    so okay let's go to app data let's take
  • 00:14:50
    a look
  • 00:14:52
    you want to go up i want to go to local
  • 00:14:55
    because this is where the juicy stuff
  • 00:14:58
    this is where the sneaks are gonna be
  • 00:15:02
    something there's something hiding in
  • 00:15:05
    here
  • 00:15:07
    it's oftentimes gonna be i'm gonna be
  • 00:15:08
    useful i'm gonna sad no
  • 00:15:13
    low actually yes let's check local low
  • 00:15:17
    nothing too interesting
  • 00:15:21
    let's also do folder options or file
  • 00:15:24
    explorer options as they're now called
  • 00:15:25
    which
  • 00:15:25
    actually makes more sense but i'm still
  • 00:15:28
    upset about it because it was one way
  • 00:15:30
    for so long
  • 00:15:31
    then they're like oh you know what you
  • 00:15:34
    didn't actually want it to be that one
  • 00:15:35
    way that we'd all agreed it would be
  • 00:15:37
    no you're happy with it now
  • 00:15:41
    so nothing too interesting virtual store
  • 00:15:45
    one zip micros malwarebytes
  • 00:15:49
    so i'm gonna i'm gonna rate inconclusive
  • 00:15:51
    i strongly
  • 00:15:53
    do not recommend installing
  • 00:15:57
    any of this rubbish because you don't
  • 00:16:00
    you really you never know what you're
  • 00:16:01
    getting
  • 00:16:03
    i think there's one commenter in the
  • 00:16:05
    reddit thread pointed out the most
  • 00:16:07
    secure way to use an
  • 00:16:10
    auto clicker for whatever video game
  • 00:16:13
    cheating desires you may have
  • 00:16:14
    is to instead of doing this
  • 00:16:18
    just use auto hotkey and write a script
  • 00:16:20
    that's what i would recommend doing
  • 00:16:23
    i can say from what i can see not a
  • 00:16:25
    comprehensive thing
  • 00:16:26
    this one op auto clicker looks pretty
  • 00:16:29
    safe
  • 00:16:30
    don't quote me on it but i think you'll
  • 00:16:32
    be fine with that one so this is going
  • 00:16:33
    to be
  • 00:16:34
    all for that video i hope hope you enjoy
  • 00:16:36
    it and i hope up to the commentary i
  • 00:16:38
    hope this is helpful
  • 00:16:39
    if you're wondering if it's legitimate
  • 00:16:40
    or not you know
  • 00:16:42
    i'm gonna focus on my bakery now bye
