Description of showbox.run
showbox.run appears to host a Vietnamese-language online movie and entertainment portal branded as "RoPhim." Based on the page title, meta description, and screenshot, the site presents itself as a place to watch films online, including new releases, series, anime, and subtitled or dubbed content. The homepage design is media-focused and emphasizes browsing and streaming rather than business software or general information technology services.
Although some automated web-classification sources label the domain under broad technology or business categories, the visible content more closely resembles an entertainment streaming website. The operator is not clearly identified in the provided scan data, and the domain name itself does not directly match the on-page brand, which may make ownership and branding less transparent to visitors.
Safety Assessment for showbox.run
At the time of this scan, no malware detections were reported by 0 out of 92 security engines, and most blacklist and threat-database checks were clean. That is a positive point-in-time signal. However, one heuristic malware scan entry referenced a generic suspicious-object label tied to the domain and a challenge-platform URL, and one blacklist source also showed a generic listing. Because these findings are generic rather than tied to a named malware family, they may represent low-confidence or context-related detections rather than confirmed malicious activity.
There are also some non-malware risk factors worth noting. The domain is relatively new at about 189 days old, it is not ranked in major popularity lists, and the visible branding (RoPhim) differs from the registered domain name (showbox.run). In addition, the site appears to offer free movie streaming, which can sometimes be associated with aggressive advertising, redirects, copyright concerns, or changing infrastructure. Based on available scan data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan, but visitors may still want to exercise normal caution.
Technical Description
The site uses a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and is served through Cloudflare infrastructure, with hosting resolved to a Cloudflare IP in Toronto, Canada. Nameservers also point to Cloudflare, which suggests the site is using a CDN and reverse-proxy layer that can help with availability and traffic filtering. The observed flagged URL points to a challenge-platform path commonly associated with bot or browser verification flows.
DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which means DNS responses may not benefit from that additional integrity layer. The domain is relatively young, and the scan data does not provide a clear origin server behind the CDN. No major TLS problems were provided in the scan summary, but the combination of a young domain, hidden origin behind a proxy, and generic heuristic flags means the technical posture should be viewed as only moderately established at the time of this scan.
