Just wanted to let you know windows defender detects the exe as a trojan:win32/Watac.B!ml
@slurdge commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why it would be flagged but I will investigate.
@slurdge commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
It seems it has to do with the fact that I pack the exe with upx. I do this to conserve bandwidth as golang programs can be quite large... If you uncompress it with
upx -d <goeland.exe>I do not have the warning anymore@departet commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2023):
I guessed it was a false positive already. Searching the web for the definition gives a lot of results where people experienced this with selfwritten software.
@slurdge commented on GitHub (Oct 27, 2023):
I've removed UPX for now.
