- nine_k 4y agoI love the idea of redbean! It pains me to see that MS Defender marks it as suspicious, so I can't easily hand it to my non-tech friends. I understand why this happens though :(
- ronsor 4y agoModern antivirus software is arguably a scam. To avoid having to determine if a program is actually malicious (which to do definitively would require solving the halting problem), they simply mark anything they haven't seen as suspicious. Granted, malware developers did use obtuse binary formats, packers, and strangely tweaked executable headers for years.
- intelVISA 4y agoCrazy to think that Mac/Windows hashes and phones home every binary you run and nobody really cares. Palantir should take notes.
- userbinator 4y agoPlenty of demoscene productions are like that too. If anything, it's a good chance to educate others on whose interests "antimalware" really protects. Around 2 decades ago, I remember one company's product detecting all binaries produced with GCC (on Windows) as "suspicious" and quarantining/deleting them, while those produced with MSVC were fine. Lots of "why can't I find the 'hello world' exe I compiled" questions on forums and newsgroups...
