I was able to run it yesterday successfully without any prompts from Windows Defender but today it detected as a trojan. I also uploaded the file to virustotal and a few antiviruses have also reported as malware. Please see screenshot Capture

Hardware Sniffer is always considered 'malware' due to the lack of a valid signature, but all the code and the executable build process have been automated by GitHub Actions, so anyone with knowledge can be sure it does nothing beyond its intended function

A similar result is available in the latest release. Thank you for noticing this.
