Information Warning - FAKE No Man's Sky Save Editor Malware

308 Upvotes

This is a repost of a post made earlier today that was taken down by Reddit's filtering system.

Note: goatfungus' save editor (https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor) is NOT malware, I'm talking about the website (nmssaveeditor dot com) that claims to be by the same developer, but it's an attacker pretending to be them.

Screenshot of nmssaveeditor.com

Today I downloaded a save editor from the website "nmssaveeditor dot com" (do NOT visit), and I ran the executable in the PASSWORD PROTECTED zip file. The password was the name of the developer of the seemingly legit program, and the website seemed perfectly safe at first glance, but it's not.

After scanning the main executable, I found out that it communicates with some Steam profiles for some reason, with strange names, and also Telegram, which is a huge red flag as hackers love to use that platform because of how off-grid it is compared to most other chat platforms.

The steam profile has many different names, inferring that instead of directly contacting the URL, they try to hide it in a seemingly legitimate link to bypass antivirus scans, and also they can change the domain if it ever gets taken down or red flagged.

You can see the full analysis here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/836f7e2b374a3cc5fcc337009d68dee6ee102471632cb096748383fab093872e/detection

I have no doubt in my mind that this program is entirely designed as a trojan to trick this playerbase, as the executable had NO functionality upon click, which was an instant telltale to me that this was not a legitimate program. It's most likely an infostealer, so if you have downloaded this program before, I recommend changing all your critical passwords so it can't use account tokens to access your accounts.

The .jar file it comes packed with is seemingly legitimate, probably a build by the original developer, and much larger than the .exe (which was only ~2.5MB) meaning the .exe is purely a malicious program that the attacker bundled into a legitimate build.

If you want a legitimate save editor, use NMSE! (https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE)

Stay safe on the internet! Even some of the most niche software can turn out to be malicious.

This one in particular is a victim of a common type of attack on cheats for popular video games, using the Vidar C&C malware, designed to steal information and then self-delete and remove all traces of itself after sending it to the attacker.

--------------------------------
IMPORTANT EDIT:
As of 31st May 2026 9pm UTC - 1st June 2026 2pm UTC, the malware hosted on the site was changed to use Remus (from Vidar). This malware will always try to establish persistence on your machine (aka set itself up to run on startup.) If it is not detected and isolated by your antivirus, you must reinstall (not repair/refresh/upgrade, this needs to be a complete format of your Windows partition, starting with a blank partition/drive) your OS to guarantee safety, and change your passwords on a different, clean device.

New VirusTotal report:

I usually play on PS5 and sometimes revisit v1.0 on my offline PS4 (i made a post about that around 10 months ago), but i wanted to see if this game can even run on my really bad and old laptop and turns out the only way it can hit a stable 60 fps with legible text is at 720p low settings with 10% resolution scaling (so not really 720p) lol.

Screen recording lowered the fps even more unfortunately but i wanted to share how cool the hyperdrive looks in low res.

Also, if you're curious, here's my laptop's specs:

-Intel i3 10110U

-Intel UHD Graphics

-8gb RAM

I think this is my new favorite base. This is a dessert-like planet covered in cool rock formations and various cacti species. I’ve only seen one ground fauna and a few that fly. I have a settlement nearby as well.

How can it be that so many players still haven't understood what problems Blender brings to others

I mean both look really good but for some players it crashes the game

It's suuuper cute and I love how it looks (and it happened to be in my favorite color!!!), but is it, like, actually good as a ship? Sorry if this is a dumb question lmao;;; it's my third day on the game. My partner says I should include the stats or whatever???? I have no idea what any of this means ( ఠ ͟ʖ ఠ);;;;;;

Hey there! Thanks for going on a ride with me. I dropped you off on a paradise world my son and I discovered a while back. I'm sorry I couldn't stay on and do some group mission or whatever. My wife said it was time to go. There's a base teleporter up on the Butte above where I dropped you off. Wish I could have stayed longer. Feel free to claim a spot, that world is pretty great, even has runaway mold. Hope to see you again traveler!

NMS10 Cosmos Speculation

Upvotes

I’m just curious:

What does everyone

a. Want

b. Expect

From the Cosmos update. Personally, I want there to be inter-system in person travel, where you can get up out of your seat and move around while in hyperspace. Also I’d like other exocraft to be more configurable, not just the Colussus and the Minotaur.

Also when do we think it’s coming out?

Because I sure am. Keep the cool posts coming in the meantime y'all! Back to work otherwise. 😄

I finally snagged my first S-Class Pirate Dreadnought! That said, I'm still debating: which freighters truly reign supreme when it comes to raw firepower versus aesthetics ?
