I used terminal via LiveConnect to check the file using "openssl MD5 [filename]" and got an accurate value then cross-referenced with virusttotal.com which determined it was clean.
Are there plans to update whatever command is being used to detect MD5 values on Mac files?
MD5 value for threats detected on Mac devices is always all zeroes
The reason you're seeing a value of zeroes means that it's a string detection, it is not indicative of anything other than that. The detection is not based on the hash of the file, it's based on the content of the binary.@ wrote:
