Hey Luigi, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. I have a question. Why does the mohbof proggie contain a trojan? I downloaded it directly from your domain and scaned it. Thanks

..lot of flooding/hacking/spoofing/sniffing...etc tools are reconized as trojan/virus/sniffer...etc. (also scripts)
some anti-virus programs reconizes those programs as malicious programs .. and thats y those alerts. If its downloaded from trusted place (like this one here :) ) then i dont think u have to worry about it ...

unfortunately antivirus companies do their ehmmm "best" for making their databases as bigger as they can just for saying that they can handle more ehmmm "viruses" than others and so the result is that many valid tools/programs are identified as malicious and there are tons of false positives (the worst happens with Avast which finds viruses also in the drivers and doesn't seem able to handle packed archives, seriously this is silly).

Luckily some antiviruses which have some of my tools in their database identify them as exploits which is still something wrong but at least far from the completely wrong "trojan" tag which says everything about how much ehmmm "reliable" is that antivirus.

Anyway in case of doubts all my stuff is ever distribuited with the full source code so you can recompile it without problems (in case of problems use the Mingw/Gcc compiler)

kind a out of topic .. but anti-virus should be something that protects YOU from attacks .. not others from your attacks lol.

depends by how you watch the thing, antivirus softwares watch more to the companies than the users so (I think) for them is good to avoid that the users of the company create problems to the same company and to the others (for example local computers used as zombie machines).
This and the "big database" one are the only hypotesis I can have about them.

This is funny because I work in IT and I have seen huge ammounts of spyware that has caused some very strange outcome . Like i found on the other day that had connections to huderds of other websites my point being is We have Macafee Enterprise with Spam module and it never catches anything . oh but it does detect your app .

I'm starting to believe its all bullshit
