Antivirus crazyness

[cryptogeek]

Hello,

Thank you for making Chisel :) it's an amazing software.

I've had issues with Antivirus detecting it as malware.

I've tried reporting them as false positive but it only seem to get worse with the lastest release being detected by so many: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/669b854e76c3fbac25e715075ee86d001e470d361dfa1f6ef53b25f9185b0728/detection

I'm very annoyed that they label it as malware just because it can be used to make malware. It's like banning cars and kitchen knives because they can be used to kill people. It makes no sense.

Any solution except uninstalling those crap antivirus ?

Thank you.

I think Go is a popular choice to create malware these days. I’m guessing malware would also use a SOCKs server etc

Not sure what can be done...

Advice is to compile it yourself :)

How does this help? Why wouldn't AV detect it as malware then?
