Expected Behavior

Getting 10 malscore for every file im analyzing , including the legitimate/safe ones, with signatures that shouldn't be there as the file is not a malware, its happening with every file type including xls, word, exe etc

Failure Logs

Please include any relevant log snippets or files here.

cape is done to analyze malware, if you see FP signature you are welcome to fix those, they are in community repo, but if legit binary does something that malware does too, we can't do nothing.

  • please start provide more rich details about issues, is boring to have ask for what is wrong, saying something without proofs is useless, like what signature what binary etc etc

malscore is not enabled by default in cape - for good reason.

Also like doomed says the level of detail in this issue is ridiculous. Not even an example!

For example this signatures appears to be in every single file analyzed , it appears to be from suricata after a bit digging

Well we can't control it

so i have found literally nothing by googling "udp scan by nmap terdeteksi!". i never saw this signature(nmap) in my sandbox. I have feeling that you have a bad windows configuration. but once against the quality of details of the issue is bad. instead of this or as extra you could from network tab then suricata and where you have all the details about that match so we could see what generates that match. but quality of issue details == quality of response
