Check for red flags: no actual source code files, .exe download links in the README, future creation dates, and cheat keywords like killaura or free-account. A risk score of 50 or higher across these indicators marks the repository as suspicious.

Warning signs include artificially inflated stars, keyword-stuffed descriptions, topics about hacks or cracked accounts, executable files as the primary deliverable, and no build system like CMakeLists.txt or build.gradle.

Navigate to the repository, open the Security tab, and use GitHub's abuse report flow at github.com/contact/report-abuse. Include evidence such as missing source code, .exe download links, future dates, and cheat-related topics.

Legitimate Minecraft mods are distributed as source code or .jar files through platforms like CurseForge and Modrinth, built with Fabric or Forge toolchains. An .exe installer from an untrusted GitHub repository is a strong malware indicator.

A creation date in the future indicates metadata manipulation, which legitimate repositories cannot produce. The script adds 30 points to the risk score when the created_at timestamp in metadata.json is later than the current time.
