  18. No real surprise in all of this, tbh. ~15 years of writing AV stuff getting me absolutely nowhere, and I got burned out, hence pulling the plug. I've said this many times, but there needs to be a centralized database that vendors pull their info from. The next step is seeing which AV vendor can write the most efficient detection algorithm. The only thing I brought table with my project was a bare minimum standard of efficiency. The result was this:

    1 Dependency installer
    No further "installation" needed
    Comprehensive databases (Whitelist, blacklist, port list, API calls, filenames/sizes (forensic blacklist/whitelist), default install paths - ~400 million unique matches)
    Fast data access times (only limited by hardware and internet latency 0/0000-F/FFFF hash database format @ avg 220 bytes per file, 17GB overall)
    Small frontend with low overhead (5MB package size, ~2MB overhead)

    And sauce - https://www.planet-source-code...
    This particular industry is indeed a popularity contest. At this juncture, I can at least prove I know what I'm talking about.
