Hello, thank you for your answer.
I understand your point, i guess i should simply trust the project
repository.

I was asked to check whether i could integrate informations coming from

https://github.com/fireeye/red_team_tool_countermeasures/blob/master/all-clam.ldb

with a pre existing clamav installation but i have limited access to the
internet so i could not easily add another  CustomerDatabase entry.
So i asked on the ML if that was gonna became part of the standard
repository.
I thought that Red Eye could provide the best signatures to identify binary
stuff they got leaked.

Yes, i was trying to compare the ldb file content with
sigtool --unpack content  of daily.cvd and main.cvd

regards
Luca
