Datasets:
safe to download?
Hi @rwightman , thanks for sharing the dataset! I noticed that there are 4 files that are marked as unsafe in this repository. May I ask are these false positives by the malware scanner and is it safe to download the dataset?
@wren93
They're all Heuristics.Broken.Executable so I imagine they're false positive but I'll check. Didn't actually see this until now. I've used this a lot but only every in linux environments, decoding with Pillow where typical malware/virus would be unlikely to have any impact.
Okay, replicated the detection, had to enable the broken-exe alert as it's not on by default. It is definitely a false positive, on a text file no less
cc12m-train-0116.tar - 000662613.txt
Contents of the text file that triggered the alert:
MZ House by CHK Arquitectura-Modern Mansion in the Green Heaven
So, seems like ClamAV is bad with false positives for this detection.
Got it. Thanks for the info!
