Ambani FiveM cheat detection & forensic artifacts

Ambani is a FiveM-targeted cheat with a known SHA-256 fingerprint. The binary is identified by hash c56f83f54e6ad7fcdd060592ebb8d794cfb9c1ba955f97028cfc6d69d30fea32. Standard execution artifacts including PcaSVC entries and Prefetch records provide persistent post-session evidence of loader execution.

Summary

  • SHA-256 c56f83f54e6ad7fcdd060592ebb8d794cfb9c1ba955f97028cfc6d69d30fea32 provides unambiguous binary identification.
  • PcaSVC and Prefetch entries persist after execution and provide timestamped execution evidence.
  • Browser history and Discord authorizations may reference Ambani distribution channels.

Overview

Ambani is a FiveM cheat identified through hash-based analysis. The binary carries a SHA-256 fingerprint of c56f83f54e6ad7fcdd060592ebb8d794cfb9c1ba955f97028cfc6d69d30fea32. Like many FiveM cheats, it relies on standard Windows execution paths that leave recoverable artifacts in PcaSVC logs, Prefetch and application compatibility databases.

Behavioral indicators

Execution artifacts

When Ambani is executed, Windows creates standard application compatibility artifacts. PcaSVC logs the first execution in the AppCompat database and a Prefetch file is written to C:\Windows\Prefetch. These records persist independently of whether the user attempts to clean up the executable.

Hash-based attribution

Because the executable name may vary across distribution channels, the SHA-256 hash is the primary attribution indicator. Confirm the hash against the known value before attributing a suspect file to Ambani.

Screenshare check guide

1

File hash verification

  • If a suspect file is present on disk, compute its SHA-256.
  • Match against c56f83f54e6ad7fcdd060592ebb8d794cfb9c1ba955f97028cfc6d69d30fea32.
2

PcaSVC / AppCompat entry

  • Inspect the AppCompat PcaSVC log for entries referencing the Ambani executable.
  • The timestamp provides a first-execution record that cannot be cleared without registry editing.
3

Prefetch records

  • Check C:\Windows\Prefetch for entries matching the executable name used by Ambani.
4

Browser and Discord

  • Check browser history and downloads for references to Ambani.
  • In Discord, check User Settings → Authorized Apps for any Ambani-related authorisations.
