Is nHentai Safe?

I analyzed nhentai.net for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:

I checked the site nhentai.net on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned as a medium security risk. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site nhentai.net.

Sucuri says the site nhentai.net is a medium security risk because the scan failed due to a 403 Forbidden error.

Some improvements can be made on the domain such as adding a website firewall to prevent hacks and solving the missing security headers listed below:

  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing.
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site nhentai.net and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site nhentai.net.

I also checked the domain nhentai.net on VirusTotal and no security vendor has flagged the site as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site nhentai.net.

Further, the site nhentai.net passed all blocklist engines on URLVoid. You can see the same here: URLVoid scan for the site nhentai.net.

In conclusion, Sucuri says the site nhentai.net is a medium security risk due to a 403 Forbidden error. Unmask Parasites says the site nhentai.net is clean of parasites. And VirusTotal and Sucuri say the domain nhentai.net isn’t malicious or blacklisted. Overall grade: Relatively Safe.
