Description

I tried the following:

  • Downloaded twice
  • Checked the hashes
  • Uncompressed with 7zip
  • Uncompressed with gunzip in git bash prompt

As soon as chisel.exe is written, the antivirus complains.

I see this is the second time something similar happens: #157 I'm not going to use this or try to compile from source but at least let you know it happens.

Recommend to check the binaries on a windows system before uploading to Github.

Research direction

Start with the published chisel.exe binaries and the antivirus report described in the issue; compare the downloaded archives and their hashes with the reported Windows behavior. No source file or test is named, so the work is complete when the cause of the false positive is identified and a verified binary no longer triggers the reported antivirus warning.
