The antivirus controversy

There are several closed issues regarding this, but it seems like none of them actually discuss the source of the blacklist.
I recommend reading these articles:

• https://www.securemac.com/definitions/Chisel
• https://varutra.com/ctp/threatpost/postDetails/Russian-Backed-%27Infamous-Chisel%27-Android-Malware-Targeting-the-Ukrainian-Military/UjZ4SlB3Uy9MNStXWlVxZTFuMmMzQT09
• https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/analysis-reports/ar19-304a
• https://securityaffairs.com/150167/cyber-warfare-2/infamous-chisel-malware-targets-ukraine.html
• https://sensorstechforum.com/chisel-mac-trojan/

I'm not sure what can be done at this point. Maybe contacting virustotal and asking them for help? They are directly working with antiviruses afterall.

A valid argument might be that there are many self-containing ssh implementations and you could do the same thing (ssh over http/s) fairly easy with socat.
But the problem seems to be actually the name. Chisel is now known as a trojan. Maybe changing the name would be easier?

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the referenced closed issues and security articles, then determine with maintainers whether the project name or another aspect should change; done requires an agreed resolution to the antivirus concern.
