#FalsePositive

2025-08-07

False Positive tries to be Rosemary’s Baby for 2021 but ends up as a regressive mess. Science replaces Satan, but the patriarchy stays alive and well — and so does the tired trope of the “mad” woman defined by her womb.

K2‑18 b n’est peut-être pas l’eldorado alien annoncé : le "DMS" détecté par JWST serait une illusion spectrale, selon plusieurs équipes.

#369 Don't Trust Internal Meta-Analysis

Thoughts: I don't agree with all the assumptions, but interesting to know how bad these can be.

Every now and then our local birds manage to convince #ubiquiti that there’s a CO alarm going off near our shed.

It doesn’t happen enough to be a bother. Rare enough that it makes me smile. Maybe once per quarter? Anyway, think it’s funny, and worth sharing.

👨‍🏫 Because mastering #OSINT starts with understanding the language.

🔎 Let’s explore: What does #FalsePositive mean?

"A False Positive is an information that seems relevant at first but in reality, it has no connection to the target."

⚠️ False positives can waste your valuable time and in some cases, jeopardize your #investigation.

👉 That’s why, when we integrate a new module into Epieos, we make sure it doesn’t generate false positives.

Delivering a #stable, #accurate, and #reliable OSINT solution is part of our core commitment.

This morning the robins were so loud and in sync that Unifi protect thought it heard a carbon monoxide alarm, and pushed emergency alert.

We have CO detectors, so I was concerned. You can imagine my relief and delight to review the recording and find happy birds instead of an actual emergency.

After checking this account, I don't see anything to support the @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app decision to label the entire account as "Spam". Poor kid (as per bio), their #Bluesky experience went down massively. Another damaging #FalsePositive.

"The risks from giving medications to birthing patients and then testing them for illicit substances have been well documented. A 2022 study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that 91 percent of women given fentanyl in their epidurals tested positive for it afterward. Other studies have found that mothers can quickly pass these medications on to their babies. A baby’s positive drug test “cannot and should not be used to identify fentanyl drug abuse in mothers,” said Athena Petrides, the lead researcher of one of the studies at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston."—Shoshana Walter

HIP 13044 is a member of the Helmi Stream, the remains of a dwarf galaxy absorbed by the Milky Way that's named after astronomer Amina Helmi, who discovered it in 1999. This is an image of it via ESO's Digitized Sky Survey 2 and Davide De Martin--I've put a circle around it, as it's pretty nondescipt even in this close-up.

In 2010 it was claimed that the star had a 1.25 Jupiter-mass planet orbiting it with a period of 16.2 days. (1/2)

An apparently typical field of stars. There's a few bright ones among them, perhaps one is our topic for today? But no, HIP 13044 is an undistinguished white dot in the centre of the image (with a green circle highlighting it, as per the toot).

Uploading it to Virus Total, I get a warning from one of the scanners.

Bkav Pro? Not familiar with that. But for me, this is where the issue begins. It get marked as:

W64.AIDetectMalware

That's an identifier for a trojan. Being a small EXE and given that I can account for every byte in the file, I know it is not a virus.

However, the corporate entity (understandably) takes no chances and immediately removes it.

I'm exploring virus detection false positives. This isn't an idle curiosity. I'm having a fight with the virus scanner used at work.

For this exploration, here is the source code of our test program.

int main() {
return 52;
}

I'm compiling using the VS command line tools.

cl /nologo /c /O1 main.c
link /nologo /ENTRY:main /NODEFAULTLIB /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS main.obj

The exe weighs in at 1,536 bytes.
