Re[2]: McAfee VirusScan vs Metasploit Framework v2.x

[Thierry Zoller <Thierry () Zoller lu>]

Dear List,

Years go, I once had a similar occurence, a benign tool of mine was tagged as
Malware, while it cerainly was not. I was a bit mad back then.

Nowadays, I've seen admins jump around furiously because their Anti-Virus did
not detect a "local exploit" (gina .etc) then complain to the AV vendor
to never buy another batch of licenses if this repeats.

I see things a bit balanced today, some AV version have the option to
enable searching for "hacking tools" or similar. And I like it, if you
have a 200+ workstation group and you know (from centralised AV reports)
that a guy who will leave in 1 month has multiple "hacking tools"
installed, well.. the boss is going to like that one, not to mention
the awareness of a potential security problem arrising.

so far.
