How safety scanning works
Every single upload to Arkhive is automatically screened before anyone can download it. Here's exactly what happens.
1
Is it a real UEFN project?
We open the zip's file listing and look for the hallmarks of a genuine UEFN project — a .uefnproject file plus Content, .uasset/.umap, or .versefiles. If it doesn't look like a UEFN project, it's rejected.
2
Is it hiding anything dangerous?
A UEFN asset never needs a program inside it. If we find executables or scripts (.exe, .bat, .dll, .ps1, and many more), sneaky file paths, or a "zip bomb", the upload is blocked automatically.
3
Malware check
We fingerprint the file and check it against a malware database (VirusTotal). Anything flagged as malicious is blocked.
4
Human review for anything unusual
If automation isn't sure, the upload doesn't go live — it's held for our moderator team to look at by hand.
No system is perfect. These checks catch the common dangers automatically, but always treat downloads with normal care. Found something wrong? Flag it and a moderator will act fast.
