In many of the cases it is the way you write your code.  In this file for instance, you have the file copies itself ,contacts unregistered dns server , Uses http direct ip connection, uses http with no ua ,uses http requests with short headers. Along with many other pieces that are common in malware.

Thank you Haimani, When it will be a convenient time for you to have a short call to discuss how to prevent the repeating false-positive? Thanks, Roi

Hello Roipaz,

 

We are not able to call or support non customers. 

I have checked with engineering and they declined to add your files to the trusted signer white list.

If you disagree with a verdict for a file, you will have to ask for evaluation on a file by file basis. 

 

Thank you

Don, Palo Alto Threat Specialist
