Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows. I'm a package manager and am including masscan into Chocolatey community repo in order to make it easier to install.
So in the future, this command would install masscan on Windows with Chocolatey:
choco install masscan
In order to get it approved, it must pass AV checks OR have a sufficient explanation as to why the AV results return so many positive results. I did try explaining that it is a port scanner, but is there a better explanation you can provide, perhaps more specific?
We are basically looking for a reason why it got detected my so many anti-viruses, and in the case of false positives a confirmation that these are indeed false.
