Is savefrom.net Safe?

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

I checked the site savefrom.net on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned with no issues. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site savefrom.net.

SaveFrom.net Sucuri results

Sucuri says the site savefrom.net doesn’t have malware or any important security issues and is a low security risk.

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'.
  • 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
  • Leaked PHP version. Your site is displaying your PHP version in the HTTP headers. Please set expose_php = Off. Affected pages:
    https://en.savefrom.net/383/ for Google’s UA

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

On a positive note, I can see the site savefrom.net is already using a website firewall to protect against website hacks which considerably lowers the risk of the domain being compromised.

I also checked the site savefrom.net on the online security service Unmask Parasites and it returned with one suspicious inline script found. I have listed it below:

(function() {
if (!_sf.app || typeof sfApp === 'undefined') {
return;
}
$('#sf_form').append($('< input type="hidden" nam...

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

SaveFrom.net VirusTotal results

In conclusion, the site savefrom.net doesn’t have malware and no security vendor associated with Sucuri or VirusTotal has flagged the domain as malicious. Unmask Parasites found one suspicious script, but it appears a minor script that isn’t malware. Overall grade: Relatively Safe.
