malware

[ChuckCottrill]

the file test/exploit.pl is malware and triggers a policy violation on some malware detection systems.

Does the file test/exploit.pl need to be present, or can that file omit the malware so that it does not trigger a security alert? When looking at the testing, it does not appear that the actual malware contents are needed.

Thanks for bringing this issue up. The script was already present before this library was forked. I have removed as it has no added value in the current environment.
