- Statically verified from user-provided Windows, macOS, and Linux packages on 2026-09-09; package hashes are recorded below. The Windows 0.2.0.4 installer contains RMMmaxAgentService.exe, which implements both the service and tray UI. Its PE OriginalFilename matches the extracted filename. Both Windows binaries pass embedded Authenticode signature and image-digest verification and carry the Plugins4 LLC certificate. The macOS UI executable is RMMmax Agent. Linux and macOS launch rmmmax_agent.py through a Python 3 wrapper named rmmmax-agent. Paths and service names come from installer metadata, decompiled Windows code, shell installers, systemd units, and launchd plists. No agent was installed or executed.
